Seems related to the wins service since the crash occurs in iface_count()
function. This function appear to be part of samba
(https://download.samba.org/pub/unpacked/samba_next/source3/lib/interfaces.c).
Look like a loop where %rdi should contain the "interface" structure address
but contain an invalid pointer in our case (uninitialised value?). BTW, I
didn't found where this structure is initialled.

A workaround is to move the wins service after the dns one for hosts in
/etc/nsswitch.conf

-hosts:          files myhostname wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
mdns4
+hosts:          files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins
mdns4

But for people who need wins for name resolution, this workaround will not
work.
