Public bug reported:

like, what group 33?

$ groups
glen adm wheel audio video cdrom groups: cannot find name for group ID 33
33 usb fuse

$ id
uid=500(glen) gid=500(glen) groups=4(adm),10(wheel),23(audio),24(video),27(cdrom),33,78(usb),84(fuse),500(glen)

$ id glen
uid=500(glen) gid=500(glen) groups=500(glen),4(adm),10(wheel),23(audio),24(video),78(usb),84(fuse),27(cdrom)

$ grep 33 /etc/group /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd:dnscache:x:33:32:djbdns User:/etc/dnscache:/bin/false

$ q coreutils
coreutils-7.4-1.x86_64

and no nscd running:
$ rpm -q nscd
package nscd is not installed

uid_gid.db.txt states group 33 is for dnscache:
33      dnscache        dnscache        no shell, group djbdns
