Thanks for the effort.  If anyone else has any other ideas, drop me a line.
I'm going to download new source and start from scratch.

So qmail-pw2u read through your /etc/password and didn't find an entry 
for "alias" (or whatever user was listed in auto_usera.c during the
build).

Something screwy is going on like a compiler bug, corrupted binary,
botched build, corrupted password file, etc.

I've pretty much reached the limit of my ability to debug this problem 
via proxy. Sorry.
