Subject: virtual.c another question

Hello!

virtual.c/virtual_userpass
fail = 0;
if (!is_valid_user(user)) {
      user = "INVALID";
      fail = 1;
}
.... many other code

Why to run other code if we already know that user is invalid? Why lstat 
directory and try to open file for this "INVALID" user?

Yours truly,
	Boris
