1976	System.Posix.User.getUserEntryForName: incorrect error for non-existent user	guest	igloo	"I just noticed that getUserEntryForName suffers from the same problem I reported earlier (#1655) for getGroupEntryForName. That is, the following program:

{{{
import System.Posix.User
main :: IO ()
main = getUserEntryForName ""bla"" >> return ()
}}}

gives the following output (on a system without a ""bla"" user):

{{{
  a.out: getUserEntryForName: failed (Success)
}}}

The ""(Success)"" part is obviously wrong.


PS. I'm using 6.8.2, not 6.8.1, but 6.8.2 is not yet an option in the Version drop-down box.
