Hi
We have similar (nothing deep) nesting and had similar issues on
openSUSE with 1.9.5. It seems to be fixed on 1.11.x. It's a real pain to
build and install but you could do us all a big favour by putting
pressure on SUSE to get up to date with sssd by informing them of your
problems with the existing version and success with a 1.11 version.
They'll listen more to an sles user than us!
On a side note, I'm surprised that it _sometimes_ works. Are you sure
you don't have nscd active?
Sorry this is not exactly what you want to hear but I predict that if
you can find the time for the build, it would resolve the nesting.
Cheers,
Steve
