Why not unsigned long?

My impl claims to support 31bit only.
Maybe use "unsigned long long" to
get like 63? Isn't "unsigned long"
arch-dependent? What would be the
benefit of an arch-dependent bitmap?

Suppose we change groups_search()

so that it returns, say, -1 if the found grp is restricted.

Then everything else can be greatly simplified, afaics...
This will mean updating all callers
of groups_search(), in_group_p(),
in_egroup_p(), vfsxx_in_group_p()
and so on. Also I am not sure if it really
helps: in_group_p() has also gid, so
if in_group_p() returns -1 for not found
and 0 for gid, then I still need to
increment the retval of groups_search(),
just as I do now.
So unless I am missing your intention,
this isn't really helping.
