/etc/group & suexec

Hi,

a script recently messed up my /etc/group file and since then all my cgi scripts stopped working. (oh, i forgot to add, that i restored the file after the incident!)
I always end up with the following error messages in apache's error_log

Code: 
[Tue Sep 17 19:18:58 2002] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (2)No such file or directory: getgrgid: invalid groupid 2299
[Tue Sep 17 19:18:58 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /home/myaccount/public_html/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi failed
[Tue Sep 17 19:18:58 2002] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: /home/myaccount/public_html/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi
The first error seems to indicate, that the groupid 2299 doesn't exist, but in /etc/group it says
Code: 
myaccount:x:2299:myaccount
...same in the other relevant files.
I even wrote a tiny perl script, which uses the "getgrgid" function and it came up with the right UID, GID & resolved name from GID with getgrgid function.
So, this is a rather weird problem, since everything seems to be fine, but apache still keeps on showing up with the above error messages for any script i try to run.

I am lost here, so any help is more than welcome!
Thanks.
