getgrent and getpwent dump core in the relevant test routines; they do not stop at the end of the relevant files. The system is not using HP "Trusted Systems" password shadowing. The grent.t and pwent.t tests complete with no errors when run under perl5.005.

Modifications used to stop grent.t at the last entry and output from both forms of the test follow.

Comments were previously added to this test to point out that a failure here does not necessarily indicate a problem and that it could be caused by your configuration.
