>Description:
If you have a line of the form '+@netgroup:::::::::' in master.passwd
before a wildcard '+:::::::::' entry, the wildcard entry is not
processed by 'getpwent' when sequentially scanning the password entries.

The problem appears to be that _pw_stepping_yp is not reset to 0 after
scanning through a netgroup (see gen/getpwent.c:unwind) and before 
scanning through the '+' wildcard entry.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The following patch fixes the problem:

                                        endgrent();
                                        latch = 0;
+                                       _pw_stepping_yp = 0;
                                        gr = NULL;
                                        return(0);
                                }
