Hmm. I'm beginning to think it's either a perl bug or a getpwent bug...

$login = getlogin || (getpwuid($<))[0] || die("unknown user: $<\n");
....

$header = sprintf("%-8s .... format for date", $login, .....);

If the kernel getlogin() name was trashed, the name on the sendmail would 
be wrong too.  When getlogin() does get trashed, sendmail is most 
definately affected (Ever seen your /etc/security cron jobs being emailed 
with your Wifes return email address because she last used X11.. :-)
