State-Changed-Why: 
This bug has been fixed with the last revision of getnetgrent.c. The
problem is that the code will try to fclose /etc/netgroup without actually
having fopened it in the case where /etc/netgroup doesn't exist.
(fclose(NULL) ==> SIGSEGV)

There is a simple workaround which is to create an /etc/netgroup file
that is empty (touch /etc/netgroup) or that has only a single plus
sign ('+') in it.
