thanks
http://bugs.debian.org/322558
After a very long discussion with the bug submitter, Nicolas proposed
a change in the wording of the newgrp(1) man page to better document
what happens in situations described by the bug submitter.
Apart from saying the the wording is hard to understand (but the issue
*is* hard to understand), the bug submitter didn't object.
So, I reformatted Nicolas proposed change and here is=A0? Tomasz, the
proposed patch.
Could you please mention us whether you applied it and in which
version it will be fixed if you apply it?
Many thanks in advance...
