Yes, I think it is. The ARM port is missing the getgroups implementation that knows how to convert from 16-bit __kernel_gid_t to 32-bit gid_t as seen by user space. I'll make a patch which will hopefully be in the next release. Meantime you should be able to fix it on your system by copying libc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/getgroups.c into libc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/. Thanks for the detailed report. This sort of thing has been mentioned before but never with enough concrete information that I was able to spot the problem. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
