Here is the stack trace w/ --enable-debug

     struct group {
         char *gr_name;          /* the name of the group */
         char *gr_passwd;        /* the encrypted group password */
         gid_t gr_gid;           /* the numerical group ID */
         char **gr_mem;          /* vector of pointers to member names */
     };


Well, gr_mem is null.  Not sure why, but that has to be it.
