Hello,

In line 115 in /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getusershell.c:

    shells = calloc((unsigned)statb.st_size / 3, sizeof (char *));  
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                     
Isn't this a suspicious approximation of the number of lines in /etc/shells
(just put `/' in it for example of an invalid entry).
