#1976: System.Posix.User.getUserEntryForName: incorrect error for non-existent
user

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
I just noticed that getUserEntryForName suffers from the same problem I
reported earlier (#1655) for getGroupEntryForName. That is, the following
program:
{{{
import System.Posix.User
main :: IO ()
main = getUserEntryForName "bla" >> return ()
}}}
gives the following output (on a system without a "bla" user):
{{{
a.out: getUserEntryForName: failed (Success)
}}}
The "(Success)" part is obviously wrong.
PS. I'm using 6.8.2, not 6.8.1, but 6.8.2 is not yet an option in the
Version drop-down box.
