no, only an instruction: try to understand my statement another way (the
way i meant it). :-)
clarification: "this patch" relates to "any freakin' getgroups problem
patch", not "your patch". quoting the above sentence without the
preceeding one does not exactly further the understanding of my
thoughts, either.

iow, i like your patch, but not because it fixes the problem it started
with, but because it is simply The Right Thing (tm) to do.
