BTW, one of the most pedantic changelog entry I've ever seen in a
Debian changelog...:-(

   * newgrp should be aware that getlogin() and ttyname() are not
     guaranteed to return anything and NOT blindly assume that they
     successfully returned a pointer to a string.  I mean, really, people=
,
     that sort of thing hasn't been reliable since 4.2BSD on a VAX.  I'll
     bet most of the working on the upstream weren't even born yet when
     this sort of thing was commonplace (it was NEVER acceptable).
     closes: #162303
