This problem reminds me of the whole "unmapped group" problem. If you
have access to a file through an unmapped group you can still access a
file -- which to me is wrong. I understand the need for checking
unmapped groups in order to fix the "chmod 707" problem, but I think
that unmapped groups should only *block* access and never *grant* it.

I was working on a patch for that issue a while ago but it touched more
VFS than I was comfortable with. Eric, is that a fix you would be
interested in?
