This is a problem. Here is my solution:
*** /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c Fri Apr 30 16:18:02 1999
--- /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c.orig Fri Apr 30 15:26:38 1999

*** 137,145 ****
return((struct passwd *)NULL);
bf[0] = _PW_KEYBYNAME;
! len = strlen(name);
! if (len > UT_NAMESIZE)
! return(NULL);
bcopy(name, bf + 1, len);
key.data = (u_char *)bf;
key.size = len + 1;
--- 137,143 ----
return((struct passwd *)NULL);
bf[0] = _PW_KEYBYNAME;
! len = MIN(strlen(name), MAXLOGNAME - 1);
bcopy(name, bf + 1, len);
key.data = (u_char *)bf;
key.size = len + 1;
