On Linux I get this validate failure all the time. What should I do?

It sounds like your machine may be misconfigured. The test attempts to lookup the entry in /etc/group corresponding to the process's group. However, it appears that such an entry doesn't exist. This would imply that your user doesn't have a valid group, which is quite odd. What does the `id` command say? Cheers, - Ben

Indeed it looks like your group doesn't have an entry in /etc/group. Quite odd. Perhaps this was due to the upgrade? Is there an entry for group id 501 in /etc/group? Cheers, - Ben
