Remove use of ngroups return value to size the buffer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As mentioned in the PR comments, we may want to dynamically detect if the runtime `libc` appears to be setting `ngroups` to the required buffer size, rather than hardcoding based on target OS.  That may require a bit more conversation, and I think it's best to not tie up the buffer overrun fix in the meantime.
