[ID 20000405.012] t/op/groups.t assumes Solaris can't have groupnames with whitespace

This is a bug report for perl from dsb@cleartool.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The 't/op/groups.t' test has code to deal specially with platforms
supporting groupnames containing whitespace but currently only enters
that code if $^O eq "uwin". Solaris (at last in 2.6 and above) has no
problem with such names but the test fails because it makes the
opposite assumption. The following patch fixed it at least on my
machine.

FWIW this comes up because I'm using Samba on Solaris as a domain
controller for some Windows boxes. In order for this to work right the
Solaris /etc/group files must define Windows-centric groups such as
"Domain Admins".
