[rhelv6-list] maximum member unix group in /etc/group

Under RHEL4, as far as I can see, there was no limitation in unix group
size in /etc/group in terms of line lengths or number of users, or at
least I never came close to hitting the limit. Under RHEL6.1, I hit the
limit today - 126 members. It's not clear if this is a bug or a
feature, or why such a limitation would be imposed. It's possible that
it was imposed by a patch, but after applying many patches, it's not
clear which would have caused it. Any ideas???
Jason.
