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
