It is not a problem with NetInfo.  It is a compiled in limit of the
UNIX kernel.  If you look at /NextDeveloper/Headers/bsd/sys/param.h
(otherwise found in /usr/include/sys/param.h on sane computers),
you'll find:

#define NGROUPS 16              /* max number groups */

If you RTFM 'man 2 getgroups':

NAME
     setgroups - set group access list

DESCRIPTION
     Setgroups sets the group access list of the current user
     process according to the array gidset.  The parameter
     ngroups indicates the number of entries in the array and
     must be no more than NGROUPS, as defined in <sys/param.h>.

Nope.  You'd have to rebuild the UNIX kernel.  I'm very surprised that
16 groups isn't enough; perhaps you're not using them very
effectively?
