Go away! The passwd(5) gecos field couldn't be read Your parents must have hated you! The passwd(5) gecos field is longer than a giant static buffer. Your sysadmin must hate you! The passwd(5) name field is longer than a giant static buffer. I noticed that the same happens for Documentation/git-var.txt Is this normal or?
