/etc/group manual-edits-workaround still reqd in 1.7?


I use cygwin in a large domain, from time to time my account is
added or removed from domain groups without any warning (last
time 'IT' added 'Domain Users' to some other domain group - so all
domain users were impacted!).  When this happens my credentials in
a password-authenticated ssh session, get clobbered & I have
to manually edit /etc/group, per:

  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg01287.html

Does this issue "go away" under cygwin 1.7?

PS
  I run a windows-scheduled job to watch for changes in
  the output of:

    id -G|tr ' ' \\n|awk '$1 > 9999'|sort -n|tr \\n ,|sed 's~,$~~'

  (to detect chgs in list of domain groups I'm in; chg => edit /etc/group)
