OK, patch attached and applied. It adds configure tests for the 5-arg

Bruce,

I'm getting core dumps on:

7.4.2 with this patch
bash-2.03$ uname -a
SunOS col65 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

Shouldn't the line above actually be:

*result = getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen);

The manpage shows this:
struct passwd *getpwuid_r(uid_t uid, struct passwd *pwd,
char *buffer, int buflen);

and the function's parameter is this:
struct passwd **result

With that change, all seems well for me.

Yes, CVS HEAD and 7.4.X patched. Thanks.
