In how far?  Did you read my text in terms of how user and group names
are created?  The leading separator char for builtin groups is an SFU
thingy.  If it's too disturbing we can discuss changing that, but right
now I'm still looking for some kind of similarity.

Thanks for testing, but I can't reproduce this.  I tried on 32 bit
Windows 7 and 64 bit Windows 8.1.

How did you build getpwent?  Did you stop your Cygwin shell and restart
it?  Can you please send the getpwent.exe.stackdump file?


Thanks,
Corinna
