Description of changes:

[2.2.3-0.4.pre1.1]
- when the initgroups function needs to parse a group entry which contains a
   large list of users, reinitialize the buffer that we pass to the parsing
   function, which destroyed what we passed to it the previous time 
(#788668)

[2.2.3-0.4.pre1]
- import patch to handle initgroups directly rather than forcing libc to
   use the enumeration interfaces, which could result in two threads calling
   initgroups() at the same time to both get a subset of the right answers
   (#705466)
