            [BZ #13594]
            * nscd/nscd-client.h (__nscd_acquire_maplock): New function, split
            out from...
            * nscd/nscd_helper.c (__nscd_get_map_ref): ... here.
            * nscd/nscd-client.h: Add __nscd_acquire_maplock.
            * nscd/nscd_gethst_r.c (__nscd_get_nl_timestamp): Add locking to
            code changing __hst_map_handle.map.
