[Dovecot] running imap command line

[Anil]

Ok, guilty as charged! #2 was it. I got cross eyed, and was wondering
why they were saying the same thing twice!

     The getgroups() function will fail if:

     EINVAL          The value of gidsetsize is non-zero and less
                     than  the  number of supplementary group IDs
                     set for the calling process.

     The setgroups() function will fail if:

     EINVAL          The  value  of  ngroups  is   greater   than
                     {NGROUPS_MAX}.
