Is this problem only happening on Linux 2.4-based systems? One
potential problem is that I don't believe OpenAFS supports the
(new-to-Linux-2.4) setgroups32() syscall. I've been told that one
difference between glibc 2.1 and 2.2 is the change to use
setgroups32() if it exists. So if AFS doesn't hook that, you will see
this behavior.
