OooK... by hacking /etc/passwd hmmm. $ useradd didn't allow that.
so technically uid could be -1, etc heh.
anyway, there always trade off, I prefer it get fixed.

Yeah, I had to edit /etc/passwd directly to do it, but it's possible, and once
created, the account works normally on Linux: http://i.imgur.com/PI3zt.png

Hi, aharvey
how did you made it? by a tricky way?. :)

it's no need:
1. first it's a knew bug of apple, apple will fix that
2. as you said, you can create a group with empty string in ubuntu.
we have no reason to introduce such a temporary fix

To reiterate what I said on GitHub: I think we could put a workaround in just
for those OS X versions behind an appropriate #if guard (blank user and group
names are valid in at least some POSIX OSes, so we don't want to hardcode the
behaviour for posix_getgrnam('')), but it's probably not worth the code clutter
in the grand scheme of things.

same comment copied from the pr:
we don't fix bug doesn't belong to php
Linux man page of posix_getpwnam doesn't specific the situation about empty
string
Posix functions are buggy in mac os. so, won't fix for this, leave it to apple .
btw:
after a quick google, seems you have file a bug to apple, then file another bug
to ruby..
and the ruby guy told you the same thing I told.
why you still think it should be fixed in php self?
