Thank you for this report, this is likely related to a very recent change in our collection. To debug this further it would be very helpful if you cold post the first few lines of the file /etc/passwd of your server. Please be mindful that this file could contain possibly confidential information so please review the contents before posting! If you are not comfortable with posting the contents I want to ask if you have a user(s) with the UID 0?
