So, looking at those errors ...

>FAIL: test/bad-input/test-header

That _MIGHT_ be because you have a terminal wider than 80 characters; is
that true?  Obviously we should fix that.  Actually, if you want to try
fixing that yourself ... in test/bad-input/test-header, change:

scan $msgnum > $actual 2>&1

to

scan -width 80 $msgnum > $actual 2>&1

Looking at this ...

It looks like valgrind is complaining about something deep within the C
library, specifically getpwuid().  I don't think this is our fault.
