Thanks Pierre, I worked it out with regenerating the group file, according to your first mail (BTW, I am a member of 10513, but it was not reflected as it should have been. Now, my id is correct).
However, I had to know how to prune it, because in our organisation, the group file generated from the all overlapping domain contains some 22000 entries. Luckily, these are named according to organisational domain, and I could pick out those which were relevant, leaving me with only about 500 entries. After mirroring my new group file to my servers, and updating to cygwin 1.3.18, I was able to login on this machine, and now I can start upgrading my other machines.
