Hi,
when a group in /etc/group contains over a 100
members, chgrp stops functioning properly when a
numeric group ID is passed as an argument.
Providing a group name as an argument works correctly
in all cases.
However, when the 100+ member group exists in
/etc/group, providing a numeric group ID as an
argument sends chgrp into an infinite loop eating up
all available resources.
I have recently upgraded from stable to testing, but
I've only noticed this bug recently, and I am unsure
if it has been there before.
RedHat has addressed a similar bug in April (see
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82619).
They have fixed the bug in the RHSA-2003:089-11
advisory (see
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-089.html).
Is this a known bug in Debian? Please, reply all to
this email.
Thank you,
Ondrej
