Fixed a nasty and long-known bug in getpwent(3) and relatives: they did not cope properly with password-file lines with the wrong number of fields, with the result that a botched manually-edited line caused 'cancer': a steadily growing number of garbage lines, multiplying as the file got rewritten by password changes. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
