The functions __gr_dup and __pw_dup do not explicitly zero the
memory which hold the passwords after free. The gr_free and pw_free
functions do this explicitly.
To guarantee same behaviour, it's possible to call these *_free
functions directly from __*_dup, because the memory is initialized
with zeros at the beginning. Calling free(NULL) has no negative
effect and can be considered safe these days.

defined internally.

libmisc/xgetXXbyYY.c, libmisc/xgetpwnam.c, libmisc/xgetpwuid.c,
libmisc/xgetgrnam.c, libmisc/xgetgrgid.c, libmisc/xgetspnam.c:
Added functions xgetpwnam(), xgetpwuid(), xgetgrnam(),
xgetgrgid(), and xgetspnam(). They allocate memory for the
returned structure and are more robust to successive calls. They
are implemented with the libc's getxxyyy_r() functions if
available.

usage of one of the getpwnam(), getpwuid(), getgrnam(),
getgrgid(), and getspnam() functions. It was noticed on
http://bugs.debian.org/341230 that chfn and chsh use a passwd
structure after calling a pam function, which result in using
information from the passwd structure requested by pam, not the
original one. It is much easier to use the new xget... functions
to avoid these issues. I've checked which call to the original
get... functions could be left (reducing the scope of the
structure if possible), and I've left comments to ease future
reviews (e.g. /* local, no need for xgetpwnam */).
Note: the getpwent/getgrent calls should probably be checked also.

to the new <xx>mem.c files. This avoid linking some utils against
the SELinux library.
