You're certainly not going to want to fix this now after having stared at
it for a year?  It's not trivial.

Yeah, they are. ;-)

If this is referring to pg_passwd, I just had a closer look and it's
really a desaster.  Both password and username as well as line length and
file length (in lines) have arbitrary limits, sometimes not even
consistent ones.  To fix this to a point where one is confident that
everything works one essentially would have to rewrite the whole thing.
