i'm not sure whether that's related but sometimes when we retrieve group
listings (for our automated group management tool), the grid will give
us incomplete lists --- incomplete in that the list will not contain all
members of the group (we end up sending out an invite to those members
who then are rather surprised because they've been and are members of
that group for ages); for example, the grid will tell us that there are
2778 members in the group, we do get 2778 entries, but in reality there
are more than that.
