 For the time being I've just stuffed the password file with 'x's but
 that's not going to help me at deployment time.
 
 Where is this code at by the way, I tried to hunt it down last night
 but to no avail.

+I'm still unable to reproduce this even after modifying my own
+/etc/passwd and re-running the program.
+
+What platform are you on?
+
+It's possible that it's your C library, and getpwent(3) or
+getpwent_r() are acting "wonky."  You might try the following C
+program, and see if it misbehaves in the same way as UnixUserInfo:
+
+  /* C version of #79123 */
+  #include <sys/types.h>
+  #include <pwd.h>
+
+  #include <stdio.h>
+
+  int
+  main ()
+  {
+    struct passwd *ent;
+
+    setpwent ();
+    while ((ent = getpwent ()) != NULL) {
+      printf ("(passwd %s '%s' %u %u '%s' '%s' '%s')\n",
+        ent->pw_name, ent->pw_passwd, ent->pw_uid, 
+        ent->pw_gid, ent->pw_gecos, ent->pw_dir, 
+        ent->pw_shell);
+    }
+    endpwent ();
+  }
