Surprising noone in particular, test_pwd broke in the same way.

  (gdb) f 5
  #5  0x200009ff284 in mkpwent (p=0x200008b3308)
	  at /mp/slaskdisk/tmp/quest/python/dist/src/Modules/pwdmodule.c:59
  59              SETS(setIndex++, p->pw_passwd);
  (gdb) print p->pw_passwd
  $1 = 0x0

Aha! Lookie here:

  (gdb) print p->pw_name 
  $4 = 0x1202faec0 "+"

It's the "NIS-thingie" in /etc/passwd that is the culprit. We may want
to handle that some way?
