getlogin problem

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.
