    errno could be an issue, but making the libraries call the ctype
    functions rather then use the macros is not going to cause random 
    segfaults and, frankly, I would far prefer to have the compatibility
    then to have them use the macros.

    The real problem here is the PAM libraries.  There appears to be just
    one set of PAM libraries and that doesn't work when we have a mix
    of pre-library-upgrade and post-library-upgrade binaries that use them.
    We need to find a solution for PAM that allows both types of binaries
    to reside in the system at the same time.
