This is what's going on (I'm not at the moment certain whether you're
seeing a bug or a feature):  getgroups takes an argument which is an
array of gid_t.  For the normal SunOS 4.x, this is really an integer (int),
but the /5lib environment can really be a short integer.  But that's
tested properly if you're using the compilers designed for that purpose.

I think configuring with gcc confuses things a little because the
declaration of gid_t is really a short in both cases -- but when I studied
this a month or so ago, it seemed to be doing the right thing in the
configure script (including for slang).  But I'll look at it again.
