Nevertheless, this bug can be very nasty.
We're bitten really hard by it now -- we do getgrent() in several system-critical scripts, and we cannot really migrate away from that group structure anytime soon, so we're stuck with trying to rewrite the scripts... When I asked the RMs about this before the release, they judged it as severity important, so I'm upgrading it.
