10240 byte response message buffer is not large enough

[groner]

I've been using libnss-docker for just a few weeks and had a surprise failure today.

Running strace getent hosts NAME.docker revealed that the response for one of my containers was larger than the 10240 byte buffer. Further inspection found the ip address appears beyond the 10240 byte boundary.
