When invoking groupdel the system consumes more and more memory.
I have 512_MB memory + 1_GB swap. In 5_minutes the kernel has killed the
process. Using ltrace/strace I realised that file /etc/groups is periodicly
read in function getgrnam(). After deleting a long line (> ~800_bytes), groupdel works as expected.
