Henry said this is a bug-fix...

It is valid for groups to begin with a "G", so the gid's should probably
be made to begin with a "#".  Also, if one reads across the line, a "#"
is more prominent; letters tend to cause one to try to read it as a
group name.

For an example, do "ls -lg" as root on a directory that has been setup
for group access, assuming it is world readable.
