Yes, though I'm pretty sure that shouldn't affect newgrp.

And in fact, CVS-co'ing and compiling zsh-4_2_6 confirms it for my 
system[1]. I think the x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu vs i686-pc-linux-gnu is 
more of a factor. (Though, I could've sworn I saw 
'i386-darwin-(something)' in a previous post from Webb.

Webb, is the behavior different for you on different architectures?

Best,
Ben
