I don't think this change is correct. get_perms can return errors as
negative values. I found that xserver does, see [0] for my take on
fixing this, as well as Emil's response [1].

I think changing the condition to:
((int)serv_group >= 0)

should be ok(I don't think there are systems with GID_MAX greater than
2^31-1), but I never bothered sending v2.
