50 non-POSIX extensions even if that violates the POSIX namespace
51 rules", which is what we normally want. But with getgroups there
52 is an inconsistency, and _DARWIN_C_SOURCE means "change getgroups()
53 so that it no longer works right". The BUGS section of compat(5)

55 of a program with different _DARWIN_C_SOURCE settings, so fix only
