This can't be made configurable easily because this is about memory
allocated in the NSS module. The NSS module doesn't parse the config
file and doesn't hold any state (apart from the connection to nslcd for
multi-call requests like {set,get,end}pwent()). The path to the socket,
timing settings and buffer sizes are all compiled-in.
The good part is that the module will only grow the memory as needed so
it will only allocate a lot of memory if it's actually used (it doubles
the allocated buffer on every filled up buffer).
The limit is in place to work around LDAP directories with too many
entries, a misbehaving nslcd, a problem in the communication or some
other problem (it's more of a sanity check).
