Thanks for looking at this.  I'm in two minds about this; the existing
logic is such that these put_users can only fail if something else has
already failed and its returning an error.  I guess it would be useful
to get an EFAULT if you've got a problem writing back the results.

IanC, any opinion?

Thanks,
