Comment(by adrien):

 Thanks for the feedback.

 It eludes me why it works on my linux and not yours. On which platform did
 you run the test? I can install it in a virtual machine and see if I can
 reproduce it. I am not of great help if I can't reproduce it.

 I could then try to use getlogin_r, maybe the problem is in the code and
 not in the test. Or strace the test and get more info on the error.
