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.
