Under Sun OS 4.0, is there a limitation on the number of groups to which a
user may belong?

It seems that when a user is a member of 9 or more groups, things get very
wierd at login time.  The user logs in and the following messages appear: 

RPC error: Invalid authentication
/home/user-id: not owner

When the number of group memberships is reduced, things are fine once
again.  Is this a bug under 4.0?
