Just where in there is it suppose to be getting

As to the question of glibc, I am not seeing where this actually uses
glibc.

I am curious, what function is failing? I see getgrouplist is working
entirely properly.

I am not seeing any attempts in dbus-sysdeps-unix.c to properly set
buf_count. It is set at 17 and never changed after that. The problem
with this is it limits some one to only 16 groups.

I will work on a better one later, but that will be slower, because
it is going to starting at 17 and counting up till you finally find a
number which does not result in -1 being returned.
