Are you shure it is the group lookup? From the strace I thought it is a
problem with ioctl call.

If it's a problem with the group lookup, maybe you can change it to a
“grep” in /etc/group. Another idea was to use the id of the group, but
zsh tries still to lookup the entry. Why? Maybe for a numeric id it could
skip the lookup.

Bye, Jörg.
