+# Verify that glibc's parsing of /etc/gshadow does not cause systemd-sysusers
+# to segfault on specially constructed lines.
+#
+# One line must fit into the character buffer (1024 bytes, unless a previous
+# line was longer) but have enough group members such that
+#
+#     line length + alignment + sizeof(char *) * (#adm + 1 + #mem + 1) > 1024.
+#
+# The parser would return early to avoid overflow, leaving the static result
+# struct pointing to pointers from the previous line which are now invalid,
+# causing segfaults when those pointers are dereferenced.
+#
+# Tests: https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/1394
