-    * pinotree spots how our getlogin_r() implementation uses a static
-        buffer...
-    <braunr> oO
-    <pinotree> braunr: yeah, the _r means "reentrantbutnotreally" xD
-    <braunr> pinotree: that's amazing ..
-    <antrik> pinotree: without having checked the actual implementation, that
-      doesn't sound like a problem...
-    <antrik> caching doesn't break reentrancy. the problem with the plain
-      getlogin() is that a static buffer is *returned to the user*
-    <pinotree> antrik: http://paste.debian.net/164727/
-    <braunr> ah, caching
-    <pinotree> i don't think this is caching at all
-    <antrik> pinotree: OK, not actually caching... but same effect as far as I
-      can tell
-    <antrik> pinotree: or is it the fixed size of the temporary variable you
-      are concerned about?
-    <pinotree> antrik: my concern was about the "static" of the buffer used for
-      the get_login rpc
-    <antrik> pinotree: I'm not sure that's a problem. can the login actually
-      ever change for a running process?
-    <pinotree> dunno
-    <pinotree> but if so, it would be pointless to do the rpc every time
-      instead of just once
-    <antrik> pinotree: true
-    * pinotree would just make it non-static and be safe
-    <antrik> pinotree: well, one might argue that allocating a KiB of stack
-      space is not very friendly, especially in a low-level library...
-    <antrik> not sure what the general policy is about such things in libc
