Apparently this also needs fixing on 2.7 and 3.2, see e.g.

getgrouplist() is new in 3.3. Those failures are from getgroups() failing. I'll
open a separate issue for that.

The getgroups test failure on OS X is likely the known limitation documented in

returned.

New submission from Gregory P. Smith:
test_posix.test_getgrouplist is failing for me on my Linux (ubuntu precise)
based desktop at work.
It looks like posix.getgrouplist() is returning all of the larger GIDs. The
lowest one it is reporting for my user is 499 but the more distro specific
Ross Lagerwall added the comment:
It seems like getgrouplist returns the information from the system
database whereas getgroups (and consequently id -G) returns the
supplementary groups for the calling process.
I'm not exactly sure how getgrouplist() can be effectively tested then.

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:
would the values returned by getgrouplist always be a non empty subset of
getgroups? (regardless, I expect the id -G process output parsing can be
removed)

Ross Lagerwall added the comment:
I wouldn't think so. A call to setgroups can add or remove groups for
the calling process. If it removes groups, then getgrouplist() won't
return a subset of getgroups().

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:
Given this is more of a code coverage test than any need to test the
functionality of the OS library call, just asserting that it returns a
non-empty list is a decent test. :)
