/* this tests whether getgroups actually returns lists of integers
   rather than gid_t. The test only works if the user running
   the test is in at least 1 group 

   The test is designed to check for those broken OSes that define
   getgroups() as returning an array of gid_t but actually return a
   array of ints! Ultrix is one culprit
