The following patch fix one group problem in glibc 2.1 that I had: Displaying Nonsense :-)
id aj gave the following output for me - due to corrupted memory :-(. uid=207(aj) gid=100(users) groups=0((¶p@(¶p@:root),4(adm),10(),14(),101(),102((¶p@([EMAIL PROTECTED]:aj),104([EMAIL PROTECTED]@4:aj),0(),4(),10(),14(),101(),102((¶p@([EMAIL PROTECTED]:aj),104([EMAIL PROTECTED]@4:aj) This should be fixed. I can't reproduce the problem some of you mentioned with root in the group list. It might be the same problem. Please tell me if this helps or not.
