I have found _a_ bug in ypserv (I think I may be stumbling over multiple different bugs, but this one is very reproducable). It is dying in the yp_testflags routine, in the for loop that goes through the CIRCLEQ. The loop dies with qptr pointing to a struct that is all NULL (my reading of CIRCLEQ suggests this isn't supposed to be possible), *and* qhead (the global variable representing the CIRCLEQ_HEAD) pointing to a structure that is all NULL (also not supposed to be possible). The fact that &qptr != qhead to me suggests that there was data there when it started, but that it got ripped out from in under it. I am not sure how though: qhead is a "static" global variable, and the only async entry into the routine is called from the signal-handler for SIGHUP, problem is that SIGHUP is not being called. (Aside: this has been a real pain to track down... I traced it into the RPC library and back out the other side...
