Foo.  2.9 attempts to understand both Berkeley and USG gecos formats.
The USG format looks like :junk-name(morejunk)stillmorejunk: so 2.9
ignores everything before a dash.  Never thought about hyphenated
names.  It looks like ifdefs are going to be needed after all.

A quick fix is possible, if you don't run RJE, by removing the check
for '-' near the end of fullname.c

I wonder what happens if someone on a Bell Labs machine with RJE
has a hyphenated name?
