Normally I would suggest deprecating this feature and then removing it after the next release, but it's impacting reasonable behavior NOW, and fixing the core dump issue here just means trying to comprehend a pile of code that's just a mess and that we all agree needs to go. So what do people think of just getting rid of all of it now?
The chances that somebody is *still* relying on using /etc/groups as a mailing list database, *and* likely to upgrade to the next release of nmh, are vanishingly slim. I say heave it over the side and mention it in the Changelog, and move on. I've only been using an MH derivative since 1988, and even back then I would have called using /etc/groups for that a totally bonkers idea, since it's overloading group semantics with possible security implications...
