Today I created the group system:postscript in the sipb cell:

; pts ex system:postscript -c sipb
Name: system:postscript, id: -98996, owner: system:administrators, creator: ckclark.root,
  membership: 4, flags: S-M--, group quota: 0.

And added four people to it:

; pts mem system:postscript -c sipb
Members of system:postscript (id: -98996) are:
  rjbarbal
  ckclark
  yandros
  tlyu

However, sometimes when I check the membership of the list, it returns nothing:

; pts mem system:postscript -c sipb
Members of system:postscript (id: -98996) are:

but a couple of minutes later, it will be okay.  And a couple of minutes
later, it will be gone again.  All this time, the database file itself
is not being modified (checked with ls -l) and the ptserver is not
restarting or logging anything.

What could be the problem?
