Just as an added piece of information, this appears to be a generic
problem with the cuserid() and getlogin() library functions (two names
for roughly the same thing) used by getlogin, not just with the
/usr/bin/logname program. For instance, I ran into this problem with
"talk" in a telnet session to an SGI (although my recent patch to
source-reviewers will circumvent the problem by looking at the USER
environment variable instead of getlogin()).
