  Modified:    usr.bin/chpass  edit.c
  Log:
  pw_scan() was being used to convert a string into a struct passwd, with
  an auto stack variable that was about to disappear.  It broke with some
  nis passwd changes because of a gethostbyname() call that uses a fair bit
  of stack..  This was a timebomb waiting to go off at any time and could
  have been causing subtle corruption for a while.
  
  AARGH!!
  
  This is HIGHLY reccomended for 2.2 and presumably 2.1.6
