NO, I don't mean that. PHP isn't always running on lastest OS.
It just a conditional workaround for buggy api.

Since there are not that much application running on OSX.
I'm ok if you guys think we didn't fix that.

OooK... by hacking /etc/passwd  hmmm. $ useradd didn't allow that.

so technically uid could be -1, etc heh.

anyway, there always trade off, I prefer it get fixed.

Yeah, I had to edit /etc/passwd directly to do it, but it's possible, and once 
created, the account works normally on Linux: http://i.imgur.com/PI3zt.png

Hi, aharvey
  how did you made it? by a tricky way?. :)

it's no need:

1. first it's a knew bug of apple, apple will fix that

2. as you said, you can create a group with empty string in ubuntu.

we have no reason to introduce such a temporary fix
