Thank you very much, Greg A. Woods for posting the source; finally
I was able to figure out why our Ultrix V2.2-1 (source-less) 'finger'
kept dumping core. One of the gecos fields in /etc/passwd was
xxyyzzy_mail_only_account
changing 'char buffer[20]' to 'char buffer[BUFSIZ]' in matchcmp()
while certainly an overkill, eliminated the problem once and for all.
Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could agree on a max string size
like 'ANSISTR 512'?
Speaking of ANSI, cpp barfed on '#ident'. (Is '#ident' ANSI?) Had to
comment it out to compile.
