Since IEEE 1003.1-1988 cuserid is not standardized anymore. The musl libc, used by Alpine Linux, currently does not supporting using it with a NULL pointer argument [1]. Doing so causes a segmentation fault, to fix this remove use of cuserid entirely. This is currently achieved by not including the user name in the error message, while it would be possible to achieve the same output using getpwuid(geteuid()) this requires error handling and would make the patch more complicated.
