Commit Message

Joe Simmons-Talbott Oct. 20, 2023, 5:42 p.m. UTC 
The alloca usage in group_member could lead to stack overflow on Linux.
Removing the alloca usage would require group_member to handle the error
condition where memory could not be allocated and that cannot be done
since group_member returns a boolean value.  Thus deprecate group_member.
Add a testcase.

Changes to v4:
* Rebase onto latest commit.
