Interix 3.5 x86
>Description:
bootstrap breaks on Interix, if group name contains space, which
is common to the setup, e.g. "id -gn" returns "Domain Users" here.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to bootstrap on Interix, when your group name is "Domain Users".

>Fix:
Quote user and group names?
Use numeric identifiers?
