You have either some /etc/passwd, /etc/group settings overshadowing the
default settings, or you used the "desc" method described in
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-desc
to change your primary group.

Otherwise your primary group is always "None", or the equivalent in your
locale.  The admins group is *never* the primary group, unless you
messed with the settings for Cygwin as outlined above.

If you're member in the Admins group, then the admins group is part of
the non-elevated token, but only as "deny-only" group.  That means, it's
usually not shown in id, unless you made it primary group, in which case
it has to be shown.

You better remove this.  I think I'll fix this function to not allow
primary groups wehich are not enabled in the token.
