Ah, now I see what you mean.  Some of the allocated gids are not listed in the 
gid list, they are only listed in the password file entry.  Sigh.  I'll go 
shopping for another.  Someone may want to propagate the gid's listed in the 
passwd lines into the group list.  Also, there are now some entries in the 
base system passwd and group files that don't appear in the list in the 
potter's handbook.
