+ * userspec.c: Don't use <alloca.h>, so that we don't use alloca on
+ strings on unbounded length. alloca's performance benefits aren't
+ that important here.
+ (V_STRDUP): Remove.
+ (parse_with_separator): New function, with most of the internals
+ of the old parse_user_spec. Allow user to omit both user and group,
+ for compatibility with FreeBSD.
+ Clone only the user name, not the entire spec.
+ Do not set *uid, *gid unless entirely successful.
+ Avoid memory leak in some failing cases.
+ Fix regression for USER.GROUP reported by Dmitry V. Levin in

+ (parse_user_spec): Rewrite to use parse_with_separator.
