Remove the assert and check the return code of sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX). _SC_NGROUPS_MAX maps to NGROUPS_MAX which is defined in <limits.h> to 65536 these days. The value is a sysctl read-only /proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max and the kernel assumes that it is always positive otherwise things may break. Follow this and support only positive values for all other case return either -errno or -EOPNOTSUPP. Now if there are systems that want to re-write NGROUPS_MAX then they should not pass SupplementaryGroups= in units even if it is empty, in this case nothing fails and we just ignore supplementary groups. However if SupplementaryGroups= is passed even if it is empty we have to assume that there will be groups manipulation from our side or the kernel and since the kernel always assumes that NGROUPS_MAX is positive, then follow that and support only positive values.
