This is intended behavior.  If you want to add a group, run addgroup.
Many programs behave differently based on ARGV[0], and this is just
another of them.

Thank you for the report and the patch.  I have made this bug severity
wishlist for now.  I actually would prefer to close it, as I don't
believe it's a bug.  I am leaving it open for now, and if you convince
me that I'm wrong, we can look into it.

Take care,
