Maybe, if you send a patch today...

Well, it's a little late, but I've sent a patch along. I'll be working on getpwent/getgrent yet and should send a patch for that shortly.

FWIW: I have tried to test the new code, but can't, because I'm getting this when I run ghci -package unix:

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package unix-1.0 ... linking ... ghc-6.4.2: /tmp/lib/unix-1.0/ghc-6.4.2/HSunix-1.0.o: unknown symbol `lstat' ghc-6.4.2: unable to load package `unix-1.0'

This is on GHC 6.4.2, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Interesting, I don't know why that might happen, but I do recally someone else reporting the same thing. I don't have any references to 'lstat' from my HSunix.o. Did you compile up this package using Cabal? I wonder if it is perhaps because it wasn't compiled with -fvia-C, or something. Cheers, Simon
