I've just tracked down a panic if anyone is interested. The panic arose
while attemping to use smail with the configuration directory
/usr/local/lib/smail shared via nfs.
The problem is that smail calls setgroups() thusly:
/* clear out all extra groups. We don't want to have to deal with them */
{
gid_t dummy;
(void) setgroups(0, &dummy);
}
setgroups() duly sets the process's cr_ngroups to 0. This causes a panic
later in nfs_request().
It seems unreasonable to me that setgroups() should allow this. It checks
for the first arg being > NGROUPS, perhaps it should also check for <= 1.
