 Sh*t, looks like SUN-OS also behaves that way... :-(

 Which kind of devil has ridden them to define *that* as official behaviour?

 Looks like it was a good idea to ask, because I would have never assumed
that this shall be correct...

 Now is it correct that this behaviour must be applied to any of the supp.
gids, and thus maybe deny access if any of them matches, but has different
permissions?
