Thanks! The problem is this. We have our own getpwent library so that
we have an alternate passwd database in addition to /etc/passwd. That
library was developed on SunOS and uses flock(). Solaris has flock
in /usr/ucblib/libucb.a. But that library also has a compatibility
version of readdir() that I think the compiler is using instead of
the one in libc. I'll try either getting an flock or removing it 
from our getpwent.

Thanks again.

Peter
