Wow ! This happened to me too.
No idea why. I just copied /etc/passwd from another machine
and rebooted. /etc/group was screwed up also.
In common with ccs.carleton.ca, I don't think that I was
doing anything wrong at the time.

I just put it down to cosmic ray trouble and the fact that
when your OS is larger than 256K you never know if it really
works :)

(Using SR10.1).
