  Modified files:
    libraries/unix/System/Posix User.hsc 
  Log:
  Implement System.Posix.User.getUserEntryFor{ID,Name} on platforms
  without reentrant versions of getpw{uid,nam}. This includes all the BSDs.
  
  While I'm here, close getGroupEntryFor* "Result too large" bug on
  OpenBSD, mentioned last year:
    http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-bugs/2003-September/003601.html
  grBufSize was too small, apparently.
  
  Thanks to Ian Lynagh for hint to do the locking.
