On one of my boxes where I have a decent amount of (less than 50) users 
in a few groups, I finally hit the limit.  Not 1024 bytes though (that I 
know of).  When that happens though, it is sooner than expected, and 
tools (like 'id') seg fault (and core dump).

I have a sample group, and it appears to be hitting the byte limit.  If 
I add a single additional character to the group, it will break things. 
     It appears to be a combination of multiple groups.

Can someone with some experience in this area comment?  I can send the 
group file itself if needed.

This box is 6.2-PRERELEASE from about mid-September.  I have also seen 
some issues on amd64, which I went through some debugging with 
Konstantin Belousov back in November (cc'ed).

Thanks!
Eric
