A few comments...

The change with this patch is that

1) if group name is specified as a number, the patched code now does
   a lookup to find the name so that log messages show the name

2) if the group name is specified as a number and it is invalid,
   the error will be caught a little sooner

The cost of this patch is an extra group database lookup.

It could be considered a feature that suexec won't read /etc/groups
if the group is specified numerically.
