NIS and groups - one group dropped!

Has anyone else seen this problem?  On our NIS clients, everyone seems
to not belong to one group that they _do_ belong to on the server.

example% rsh server groups
user prog vision ams
example% groups
user prog ams
example%

more bizzarely, `groups user' works on the NIS client...

example% groups
user prog ams
example% groups me
user prog vision ams

although permission wise, it obeys the first, i.e. you miss out
on permissions for the group that is missing.  I can't find any
pattern to this.  The groups files are OK,  different people with
otherwise identical setups in the /etc/groups file and /etc/passwd
miss out on _different_ groups on the clients!

Can anyone give me a clue as to what is going on?
Thanks in advance,
