getgrnam(3) bug

[Rich Salz]

Point:
    "It's a bug that getgrnam(3) requires each entry to be on one line."
Counterpoint:
    "Yeah, a bug in your editor; get a new one."
My rebuttal:
    As it comes out of the box, BSD comes with ed and vi.  If reasonable
    tasks force me to create a file that the supplied tools can't create,
    then there's a bug.

There are two solutions:
    1.  Remove the getgrnam(3) one line per entry restriction.
    2.  Ship another editor with BSD.

I believe the first choice is far superior.
