  ****************************************************************
    The abend0c4 occurred when starting CSSMTP using a userid
  with UID=0.  CSSMTP issued a getpwuid(uid) to obtain
  information about the UID.  This call failed when UID=0 was
  used.  CSSMTP used the uid data pointer without verifying it
  was valid.  This caused the abend0c4.
