Since this bug report is in the context of AFS, I can at least answer that
question. AFS uses supplemental groups to control access to in-kernel
authentication information; this is called a PAG (process authentication
group).
Thomas, at least per the man page on Solaris, I think this is the default
behavior of initgroups. initgroups says that it reads the groups database
and initializes the supplemental group list to match the user's membership
in various groups; implicit in "initializes" would be a discarding of all
existing memberships.
Sounds to me like a glibc 2.1 bug fixed in 2.2.
