Yuck. Okay, if you can still reproduce this problem, please first
confirm that it's a "too many groups" problem by running
grep -c username /etc/group
grep username /etc/group
and making sure that either the first command returns 15 or more, or
that the first command returns 14 or more and "mit" isn't one of the
groups you're in.
I'd also like to know if you can reproduce this from a clean group
file somehow, but that's probably not easy.
