[issue39821] grp library functions grp.getgrnam() & grp.getgrgid() returning incorrect gr_mem information

I can't re-create this locally (tested on master and 3.5.2):

  ammar at cowlick:~/cpython$ getent group | grep testgroup
  testgroup:x:1008:ammar,root
  ammar at cowlick:~/cpython$ ./python
  Python 3.9.0a4+ (heads/master:02a4d57, Feb 27 2020, 01:54:32)
  [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import grp
  >>> grp.getgrnam('testgroup')
  grp.struct_group(gr_name='testgroup', gr_passwd='x', gr_gid=1008, gr_mem=['ammar', 'root'])

Both getgrnam and getgrall use the same underlying function to convert the `struct group` so this might be a problem with your libc. Could you post your distro info?
