I now got my /proc/self/mem-reading test program to work, and it seems that neither getspnam() nor getspent() leave "garbage" in memory: no security risk. - Am wondering if the call to endspent() is needed, when apparently there is no setspent() anywhere; still, it can do no harm (other than to confuse fools like me).
