Contrary to what has been said
here, it doesn't help to remove the "compat" keyword from the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file, the problem remains. But it definitely appears if some lines in /etc/group are unusually long. After removing these lines
from /etc/group the problem doesn't appear (and the adduser script works
fine).
Hmmm, it worked for me also only somewhere. Another workaroud is to say in /etc/group
users:x:1000:a,very,long,list,of users:x:1000:all,users,on,your users:x:1000:system
(www-gnats.gnu.org is currently not working, so I could not verify if this bug is already known to gnu folks)
