Is the pw (in particular adduser or deluser) an atomic function?  The reason
I ask is because I have tried lauching multiple login threads, which use a
modified PAM module which in turn adds/deletes a user.  When I try to login
after this bombardment, the passwd file seems to be out of sync.  That is,
the master.passwd and passwd files do not match.
