>Description:
newgrp.c currently does:
if (ngrps == ngrps_max)
... warn about too many groups
else
ngrps++
setgroups(ngrps, ...)
Thus the check for ngrps_max needs to be against ngrps + 1, not ngrps.
>How-To-Repeat:
call ngrp with your NGROUPS_MAXth group.
>Fix:
Line numbers will be offset due to local changes.
