I have a long group in my /etc/group file, with over 512 caracters in the
line. Editor ed does not support longer lines, but I can continue to
extend the line with vi. 

So my question: is there any limit for the system in the length of a
/etc/group entry? Is yes, how long, and how could I solve this? Create
a second entry for the same group? or... ?
