We're using PostgreSQL 8.2.

There's no error:

Basically, executing parentGroup.addMember(childGroup) in gsh never 
returned. Had this effect also when deleting from some other group,

Now, I let it run even longer and... got an OutOfMemoryError. Still, the 
last message in the log is the gsh startup message.

The parent group in this case also has lots of privileges everywhere, 
could this be a problem?

Okay, fixed that one - thanks a lot!
Apparently, Grouper Loader does not remove empty Stems too, even if it 
created them itself?

If need be, we're happy to limp even further. ;)
We cannot update to 1.5 prior to May 2010 due to team resources. 
Luckily, none of the problems is a real showstopper.

Thanks again!
