 Thanks for the report. This is obviously broken, due to the different
 definition of getpwnam_r. OpenSolaris:
 
        struct passwd *getpwnam_r(const char *name, struct passwd *pwd,
    char *buffer, int buflen);
 
 Linux:
 
        int getpwuid_r(uid_t uid, struct passwd *pwd,
   char *buf, size_t buflen, struct passwd **result);
 
 Note that the former returns NULL when the entry is not found but
 Linux returns 0 when the entry is found :(.
 
 I see that there has been a CL in the meantime, I will look into
 pulling this to go14. My only question is: How did it ever
 successfully build on solaris before? Filip?
