  None of these should be doing an I/O as far as I can determine.
Whenever I get to getlogin() (which AMK & I decided should be
included, based on the specs that /F pointed us to), I will release
the interpreter lock for the getlogin_r() variant.  I'm not sure I
should release it for the non-reentrant getlogin(), however; the
specification for getlogin*() pretty much requires that it read from
utmp.  ;(
