Hello,

Below is a small test that shows a getlogin problem.

Please review the following session. The getlogin does not
return username if the code is executed in a script with background
command, but returns correctly when run in foreground.

Note: below test uses ecc (Intel Compiler), gcc compiler yields
same results. 

This works correctly in 000828 with 2.4.0-test10 kernel.
 
Any ideas?

Thanks.
