O yeah, man getpwuid was the one I checked, which holds this quote:
The  return value may point to static area, and may be overwritten by
subsequent calls.

This obviously is an indication, but I am somewhat confused by the "may"
in "may point to static area". What "may"? Is this implementation
specific? Based on build options?
