+/* On OS X 10.6 and later, use the usual getgroups, not the one
+   supplied when _DARWIN_C_SOURCE is defined.  _DARWIN_C_SOURCE is
+   normally defined, since it means "conform to POSIX, but add
+   non-POSIX extensions even if that violates the POSIX namespace
+   rules", which is what we normally want.  But with getgroups there
+   is an inconsistency, and _DARWIN_C_SOURCE means "change getgroups()
+   so that it no longer works right".  The BUGS section of compat(5)
+   says that the behavior is dubious if you compile different sections
+   of a program with different _DARWIN_C_SOURCE settings, so fix only
+   the offending symbol.  */
