[OpenAFS] pagsh, groups - "id: cannot find name for group ID XXXXX"

hi,

After running a pagsh, the user becomes a member of that process group.
The number of the group is added to the output of `groups` for the user.
However, commands such as `groups` fail looking up the group name from
/etc/group (since it does not exist for a PAG) and exit 1, causing
scripts to die as if an error were presented.

A stupid problem; any idea how to get around it without rewriting the
offending scripts?
