Only Richard's grplist has problems. Those people with grplists of
more than 400 characters are:
eichin 404
dot 409
tytso 411
probe 458
There seems to be a bug in the resolver library such that Richard's
info is received from the nameserver, but the packet is thrown away by
the resolver as truncated. The other names work, from all three
nameservers. The nslookup in the net-tools locker is broken in other
ways, since it fails to find information that my nslookup and hesinfo
both do find. Try "set debug" when you lookup some of this stuff and
you will see the correct answer come back, but nslookup ignores it.
I don't know what the problem is with the extra-long grouplist, but
since it's not likely to affect regular users, this isn't an
emergency.
