The new OS X buildbot is failing in test_posix:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_getgroups (test.test_posix.PosixTester)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/buildbot/buildarea/3.x.murray-snowleopard/build/Lib/test/test_posix.py", line 734, in test_getgroups
    set(posix.getgroups() + [posix.getegid()]))
AssertionError: Items in the second set but not the first:
1

I can't reproduce this at the command line, so it probably has something to do with the fact that buildbot is running in daemon mode.

From irc, I believe RDM has changed the buildbot to run under a group that the user is a member of ("staff") and so I think this issue can be closed.  David?

Yes, the problem turned out to be that the buildslave process was running under group 'daemon' (1), but the buildbot userid that it was running under was not part of that group.  So I changed the run group to 'staff', which buildbot is a member of, and the test passed.  So I consider this a bug in the buildbot setup rather than a bug in the test.
