I found that realname wasn't getting set correctly if I didn't have a NAME
environment variable set and there was no comma in the GECOS field of my
passwd entry.  Simple fix:

*** init.c.orig Mon Aug 28 09:16:16 1989
--- init.c      Thu Sep  7 17:02:12 1989
***************
*** 134,142 ****
        strdup(login, entry->pw_name);
        if (!home || !*home)
            home = entry->pw_dir;
!       if (!realname && (realname = entry->pw_gecos) &&
!               (p = index(realname, ','))) {
!           *p = 0;
            for (p = buf; *realname; realname++)
                if (*realname == '&')
                    *p++ = upper(*login), p += Strcpy(p, login+1);
