pw_scan() was being used to convert a string into a struct passwd, with
an auto stack variable that was about to disappear. It broke with some
nis passwd changes because of a gethostbyname() call that uses a fair bit
of stack.. This was a timebomb waiting to go off at any time and could
have been causing subtle corruption for a while.
AARGH!!
This is HIGHLY reccomended for 2.2 and presumably 2.1.6
