setgroups() probably doesnt call initgroups().  initgroups() does
a setgroups() based on the info in /etc/group.

isnt samba single threaded?  each user needs a different pag group.
(but this pag information isnt going to be stored in /etc/group of course).
is samba trying to swap between users groups?  you might need to find 
a way to preserve the pag information about each user.
