If I compile the program below with shared libraries, it works fine.  If I add
"-static" to the command line, it dies with a segfault:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pwd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  struct passwd *pwdptr;
  int uid;

  uid = getuid();
  pwdptr = getpwuid(uid);
  printf("uid = %d, name = %s\n", uid, pwdptr->pw_name);
}

gigan:~/src> cc -o pwdtest pwdtest.c
gigan:~/src> pwdtest
uid = 1000, name = gobbel
gigan:~/src> cc -static -o pwdtest pwdtest.c
gigan:~/src> pwdtest
Segmentation fault

getuid seems to be doing the right thing, but getpwuid always returns 0 in the
statically-linked library.

I am unable to reproduce this on either a potato box...

jk::pts/0::cerberus::% cc -static -o pwdtest pwdtest.c     4:48:09 [/scratch]
jk::pts/0::cerberus::% ./pwdtest                           4:48:27 [/scratch]
uid = 1000, name = jk

... or a slink box...

espy::p2::master::% cc -static -o pwdtest pwdtest.c        6:49:27 [~]
espy::p2::master::% ./pwdtest                              6:50:05 [~]
uid = 1117, name = espy
