To those of you who have investigated these code paths: do any of them 
look like they couldn't be replaced by getpwnam() or other calls that 
would let cygwin1.dll do single-record AD/SAM lookups, rather than 
whole-table/tree scans?

That is, do any of these programs really need to visit every record in 
/etc/passwd?

Details, details. :)
