I guess it does: the mapping that gets created from AD is sometimes 1049120
instead of 544.  That depends on the settings in nsswitch.conf and whether
an /etc/group file exists at all or contains an entry for Administrators.  I
guess that once this behaviour is stable (and maps to 544 in every case) the
problem that Perl is having also goes away.
