Yeah, as of a fairly recent new kernel, the kernel has apparently started
expecting the groups to be present in sorted order, and AFS doesn't do
that so that it can find its PAG groups again.  This is apparently
occasionally causing the kernel group algorithm to miss groups.

Upstream is currently trying to figure out how best to fix this.  It's a
pretty obnoxious problem.
