lib/pwmem.c copies all members according to the getpwent(3) or putpwent(3) man pages or /usr/include/pwd.h (libc6-dev 2.13-32). I could not find a definition of struct passwd with a pw_age field. I could copy or initialize the complete structure in case there are redefinition of this structure with more fields, but it could be as harmful as not doing anything. Can you provide more details?
