Would you be so kind as to inquire as to when this might be fixed?

I won't. Although, if one were to `chroot`, and the binary executed required a 
newer revision of libC, wouldn't the newer libC also automatically be "pulled 
in"?

Which other relief measure(s) could I implement in the meanwhile, other than 
looking into revising `useradd`, `userdel` and `passwd`, a nontrivial problem.
