Release Status: release
Description:
Hi,
According to man page assigment to GROUPS should return error status,
this is not a case:
"GROUPS An array variable containing the list of groups of which
the current user is a member. Assignments to GROUPS have no effect and
return an error
status. If GROUPS is unset, it loses its special properties, even if
it is subsequently reset."
