It is really weird how you could get this error. If the user is member of the group, he will never be prompted for a password when newgrp groupname is issued. And when he is not and there is no password in group/gshadow set this bug will just affect the message issued. Though applying the patch is correct thing as crypt: Invalid argument is not a particularly good message.
