  I takes a certain amount of chutzpah to disagree with the author,
  but Rich, I respectfully disagree. On my system, I get unwanted
  groups (that is groups not in the active file) in junk. Why? I
  think because I set the WANT_TRASH variable in config.data to
  DO. I'm not sure what would happen if I had groups with a 4th
  field of 'x' in the active file.
