(Some email path may be clogged; Nathan Chancellor has also sent email,
but I wanted to comment too.)

This patch solves https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1626

And it's actually fixing a wild write as well: for folks where
"i < num_groups - 1" is false and they don't get "lucky" with a NULL
deref, this is writing to some address left over on the stack. :|
