There are two "adduser" scripts.  One is perl, and one was written
to use "pw" and provide the same semantics, in a shell script, as
part of the "perl purge" that happened recently.

One of them pukes on the trailing $, and the other doesn't.

It's confusing, unless you caught that we were talking about
most recent -current.
