I am using ansible 1.7.2 on RedHat
Note that I am super happy that I was doing something somewhat innocuous;
however, this did just make a large number of changes across 600+ hosts...
not a very cool behavior... this did not exist in 1.5, which is the
version from which i upgraded.
thanks in advance...
relevant play:

## Yikes!!!! This can be shown with changing perms too, not just group;
however,
## I can leave that exercise out of the thread.
[root@padishah1 ansible]# ssh swdw43.scs.iwcs.net "ls -ltr /etc/inet/hosts"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 444 Nov 6 21:22 /etc/inet/hosts
## Now, modify the hosts so hosts is different AND change group
[root@padishah1 ansible]# ssh swdw43.scs.iwcs.net "echo '# just a comment
line' >> /etc/inet/hosts && ls -l /etc/inet/hosts"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 466 Nov 6 21:34 /etc/inet/hosts
[root@padishah1 ansible]# ssh swdw43.scs.iwcs.net "chown :root
/etc/inet/hosts && ls -l /etc/inet/hosts"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 466 Nov 6 21:34 /etc/inet/hosts
## Run the play again w/ check still set
[root@padishah1 ansible]# ansible-playbook sdlw_block1.yml -i west
--tags=hosts --limit="swdw43*" --check
