PLEASE save the mail.
But even more, please READ the mail too. Look at my suggestion. And when
you send the mail out to somebody who complains about NRGROUPS, then send

ignore my suggestions even though they obviously fix the problem.
I'm damn sick and tired of you blaming the kernel for your own stupidity
