Interesting.  How does libnss_sss.so get loaded?  Is it specified in
/etc/ld.so.preload, /etc/nsswitch.conf, or some other global
configuration file?

Could you this time replace ‘valgrind’ with ‘strace -f -o log’ in
‘pre-inst-env’, and send that log?  I fail to see how this library gets
loaded.

Does (getpw (getenv "USER")) work on this system?
