To demonstrate the problem more clearly, I have installed two Debian wheezy
virtual machines with exactly the same configuration placed on the same
network. The only difference is the kernel used. The test programs and the
results are shown below:
michael@server:~/src/misc$ cat initgroups.c
#in
Additional information:
in the above configuration, if "michael" is from local /etc/passwd and
/etc/group, the egid would be 1000, however, if it is from LDAP, the egid
would be 27. However, the output of "getent passwd" and "getent group" are the
same.

Dear Maintainer,
I have found a potential security hole in the implementation of initgroups. It
sets a wrong egid on my system. Here is the necessary information:

I did. Your problem is the same issue as in Debian bug #674908 [1].

Bug #688086 [iceape] iceape: [sparc] iceape stops with bus error
Bug reassigned from package 'iceape' to 'libc6'.
No longer marked as found in versions iceape/2.7.7-1.

A summary of the current situation:
There are historic programs and libraries relying on the old FILE
structure. These programs and libraries assume that any 4-byte aligned
FILE structure is acceptable, because that was the case with libio 2.0
Most programs and libraries are compiled with libio 2
