A similar change is needed in 4.x or the change should be backed there.
I think we should back it out (in stable) until the various users of
initgroups are fixed to output something useful and, preferably, not
exit when this happens.  As it is, we turned an rarely hit edge case
that was somewhat difficult to debug into a fatal error that that is
about equally difficult to debug and breaks the account in question.
