so is the dummy spit by apache itself, or a syscall made by apache ?
u can use ktrace on apache when starting/dying and see what is causing the
actual problem.
IF the issue really is central to /etc/groups , would moving to a bigger user
management system (LDAP, NIS ? ) be possible? ( possibly implies changes to
virtualmin too..)

Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should
be hard to understand and even harder to modify.

Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have been
