Hi Eric,

Oh, you did narrow in on the test. I haven't seen any recent bug-gnulib
traffic that mentions this test failing on OSX, nor do I have easy
access to a machine to verify and clean it up myself. Can you help
debug the issue? One thing to look at is whether gnulib is declaring
the system getgroups() as working or not - what does 'grep GETGROUPS
config.status' report for you? Also, it could just be an overly-strict
test.

[ruben@odin ~/src/libvirt-1.0.5]$ grep GETGROUPS config.status

S["REPLACE_GETGROUPS"]="1"

S["HAVE_GETGROUPS"]="1"

S["GNULIB_GETGROUPS"]="IN_LIBVIRT_GNULIB_TESTS"

D["GETGROUPS_T"]=" gid_t"

D["HAVE_GETGROUPS"]=" 1"

D["GNULIB_TEST_GETGROUPS"]=" 1"

Here's a quick gdb session:

[ruben@odin ~/src/libvirt-1.0.5/gnulib/tests]$ gdb ./test-getgroups
