I believe its a sequence of events issue when using the normal commands. I've recreated the problem on another machine.
I know I'm replying to myself, but I figured out what causes gshadow to get corrupted.
Execute the following commands: tail /etc/gshadow # to know what you started with groupadd sambashare tail /etc/gshadow useradd xyz tail /etc/gshadow usermod -G sambashare xyz tail /etc/gshadow
The usermod utility causes corruption in gshadow. The more users area added to the sambashare group, the more trashed gshadow becomes.
To remove the corruption : userdel -r xyz groupdel sambashare
I'm going to bugzilla this if its not in there already.
