Re: [1.7] getgroups regression?

But that still makes me wonder - is there anything we are doing in a typical
install that might be accidentally inserting duplicate entries into /etc/group,
or is this something I managed to fubar all by myself way back when I first
created my side-by-side 1.5/1.7 installation (back before the transition was as
smooth as it is now)?
I also have duplicate entries in /etc/group in a 1.7 installation that I
created last February. But I have a more recent installation with no
duplicate entries. So whatever might have been wrong seems to have been
fixed.
