[ID 20000424.005] getpwent returns every _other_ entry underHP/UX 10.20

This is a bug report for perl from George.A.Theall@mail.tju.edu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

getpwent returns every _other_ entry from the password file under HP/UX
10.20. Consider the following code:

   perl -e 'while ($name = getpwent) { print $name,"\n" }'

This should print each account name defined to the system.  On Solaris and 
Red Hat linux, this works as expected with perl 5.6 and earlier versions. On
HP/UX 10.20, it also works as expected with perl 5.005 and earlier versions;
with 5.6.0, though, it prints every _other_ entry.
