Hi Bruce,

That would work!

Thanks
Peter

One idea would be to use malloc() to allocate storage for the
thread-safe buffers when compiled with thread-safety, rather than using
the stack.

Hi Tom,

How many of these platforms you use are POSIX-compliant?  This 
information came from the POSIX web site (NOT THE DIGITAL/COMPAQ/HP/... 
WEBSITE).  Sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX)  is supported by Solaris 2.5, 
SCO UNIX (circa 1999!),  Digital UNIX/Compaq Tru64 UNIX, FreeBSD,  AIX, 
HP-UX, and probably many more.

Maybe the non-compliant platforms should be catered for as "legacy" with 
support code in the "ports" area, and those that do adhere to open 
standards can be accommodated without breaking existing production 
applications.

Thanks
Peter

OK, we got a report.  I just thinkg 8192 is excessive for that
structure, and if someone is having a problem, others might as well.
   

        
 

      
On Tru64 UNIX, sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) returns 1024.
     

          
I'd be more impressed by this line of reasoning if _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
were defined on more than one of the platforms I use...
