Hello,

I'm wondering whether it's a compiler or a library problem: GCC on HP-UX
compiles a program using initgroups() in a way that it dumps core. Compiling
the same source with HP's bundled CC, doesn't dump core. Furthermore the
GCC-compiled binary doesn't dump core if I remove the line "+:" from
/etc/group.

See also http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21719

I found this bug wile debugging "sudo" crashes. Works on all machines except
one.

Regards,
Ulrich

HP-UX version ?
10.x is obsolete.
11.x uses /etc/nsswitch.conf and doesn't need "+:".

I responded in the GCC bug report, basically I think you need
the HP-UX libc patch PHCO_31903.
