Package: manpages-dev Version: 3.07-1 Severity: minor Hello!
This one just bit me and even though it might be considered a bug in glibc, it would still be nice to have the problem documented. It would be very nice if you could update the manpage with the fact that getpwnam_r sometimes returns 0 even on failures and the return code alone should not be trusted! ie. getpwnam_r on non-existent users returns 0 and the the result pointer pwbufp is NULL, so you need to check both the return code *and* make sure the result is not a NULL-pointer.
