  As would happen, I've run up against the wall on the size of entries in 
an /etc/group line, both in number of users per gorup, and line length.  
I got all happy about this and changed the default sizes in getgrent.c 
and recompiled libc, but it didn't make a whit of a difference.

  Are there a great deal of other parameters which would need to be 
changed?  I didn't stumble across any, but I didn't look incredibly hard.

  (And yes, I did split the groups up in to users1, users2:, etc, and it 
works, but it's an ugly little hack. :-)
