Since things are still going after the change, this probably shouldn't

No message should be generated. Pointing multiple user names to the
same UID is perfectly legal.

I would've thought so as well... and indeed have been running that way
for a few years.  The recent GLIBC update, however now breaks that
in some circumstances.

It wasn't fun to find, and fortunately, I lost no mail because of it - I
did however have a huge backlog of locally generated mail because of the
nscd aborts (my non-system users are all in LDAP).

<robert> i understand there are some reasonable limits to free speech in
         america, for example I cannot scream Fire into a crowded theatre
         .. But can i scream fire into a theatre with only 5 or 6 poeple
         in it ?
