The problem only occurs with people of a group list over a certain
size, and also only after the second and later lookups. Does the
problem happen when you look up bdrosen instead of yourself? The
problem exists under Linux as well, although now it just returns
"hesiod name not found" instead of segfaulting. I don't
remember what causes the problem.
