I'll be happy to take a look at it too. I did a lot of the _r routines
we have now, in some cases simply documenting ones that were there, but
halted when I got to gethostbyX_r and the passwd and group variants,
because they were too fugly to tackle at that time. I'll get back to
the
remainder "someday", when I have the time, unless you beat me to it.
