[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#756630: newusers fails adding multiple users

Hi,

I can confirm this bug. Using a file with 5 new users I get the
following error:

# newusers 5users.csv 
*** Error in `newusers': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000001ae2d10 ***
Aborted

A curious detail: if the first 4 users are already created and I run
newusers, the 5th one is added without problems. If I have 6 users in
the file and the first 5 users are already created the 6th one is added
without problems. And so on.

$ dpkg -s passwd | grep 'Version'
Version: 1:4.2-3.1
