Further related bugs can be filed in separate bugs, of course, but that doesn't
invalidate the problem that glibc's nsswitch lacks a crucial feature. (Note that
not all operating systems set errno on getpwnam() failures so that code ported
over may not check getpwnam() even though my own code does.)
