Hi,

the recent update to RPC causes ypbind to break. The problem is, that
/usr/src/usr.sbin/ypbind/yp_ping.c mirrors some code from the RPC library,
including the internal structure used for the CLIENT structure. The new
structure uses struct sockaddr_storage (128 bytes) instead of struct
sockaddr_in (something lesser) and includes a new member just at the end
of the structure (struct pollfd). Because the XDR buffers are allocate
directly behind struct CLIENT, this makes the pointers into the buffer
wrong. This causes the ypbind child to dump core, which in turn causes
the parent to create a new child, which dumps core, causing the parent
to create a new child, which dumps core ...


A simple fix is:

A better fix would probably put the definition into a private header
file and include this in yp_ping.
