Bug in users command

I think there is a bug in the code for "users" in the 4.3-reno
source.  The problem is that the first user name is always printed
as is the last user name.  If there is exactly one user on the
system, and the user is logged on more than once, you get the
user name twice.

Here is the code, as I have modified it to run on SCO Xenix.  The
file was short enough that a diff didn't seem warranted.  The problem
was in the for-while loop that was at the end of main().  I replaced
it with a simpler for loop.
