interesting, i wonder what that is.

i thought i had fixed that in devfs-posix.c but if so, only on *unix.
it was previously reading sequentially through the password and group files
instead of calling the functions that might use another indexing system or database.

i did not think there was a similar thing in the Windows devfs.c but perhaps
there is something that has that effect.
