Hello, RIchard.
I just rechecked everything here, and it doesn't seem to be an udev
issue, because when I have 'mysql files' at nsswitch.conf, I get an
assertion error not only from udev, but also from a simple ls.
So, the problem is not "fixed" here. I had to change my functionality
to have it working (i.e. changing the way authentication info is
looked). So, if I need to have mysql lookups before files, I don't
have a way now unless I do an even uglier hack and make it change
itself on local.start :)
I don't experience timeouts, instead I just get glibc assertion errors:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 604: _dl_open: Assertion
`_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT'
failed!

In the past, glibc wouldn't complain to leave things unresolved. The
problems started now that it started to give these assertion failures.

Thank you for your help.
