 The error messages aren't different by design though - the different
 behaviour for -g "" is a side-effect of the change I mentioned in the
 first email. There is no practical distinction between those two errors
 anyway - they come from two essentially identical checks at different points
 in the code.
 
 In fact, the "... is not defined" check is redundant and can be
 removed/simplified if my patch is applied. Specifically, that check only
 fails with -g "" in the unpatched pw(8).
