Synopsis: Bad group change with 'install'

State-Changed-From-To: suspended->closed
State-Changed-By: mpp
State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 23 16:42:24 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
install was fixed a long time ago to work around the problem stated
in the PR.  Since that time, libc has also been modified so that
the getpw* routines do not call the getgr* routines, which caused
problems for programs that did something like:

	gp = getgrnam("wheel");
	pw = getpwnam("jouser");

and then found that the data pointed to by "gp" was invalidated by the
getpwnam() call.
