A simple

<? var_dump(posix_getpwnam("user")) ?>

will core dump if user has a null gecos (possibly, any
null value). As in:

user:x:500:100::/home/user:/bin/bash


 The fix needs to take into account nulls comming in 
via getpwnam and appropriately blank the fields. I can't fix this right now,
but it should be an easy one.
