He said, 1024 chars per line of a group listing.  If that is the case,
winbind would have to keep track of # of chars, and then print
newline+groupname+gid and continue the listing of names.

Like I said, I am still talk to the guys at Sun and they are looking
into it.  I will post to the list if there are any interesting findings.
