I can confirm it too, on:

FreeBSD ajax.ebs.gr 6.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA3 #2: Mon Aug 22 23:38:51 
EEST 2005     root_at_:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I get the following from a full trace:

(gdb) bt full
#0  0x280bf7b1 in strcspn () from /lib/libc.so.6
No symbol table info available.
#1  0x08048a3c in main (argc=65536, argv=0x10000)
     at /usr/src/usr.sbin/chkgrp/chkgrp.c:137
         i = 14
         len = 14
         n = 30
         k = 2
         e = 1
         line = 0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>
         f = {0x804b19a "past", 0x804b19f "1001",
   0x804b1a4 "past\ngdm:*:92:\nmessagebus:*:556:\n", 'Π' <repeats 167

         p = 0x0
         cp = 0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>
         gfn = 0x8048c1e "/etc/group"
         gf = (FILE *) 0x281522c0
(gdb)
