But this is a "feature" when you want to purge every file in a group, 
for whatever reason, without purging the group itself.  Before the 
wildcard purge was added, it was a lifesaver for groups that collect 
logfiles, spool files, work files, etc.  Just login to the group and 
purgegroup it, and presto, files gone.  It's also much faster than a 
wildcard purge for groups with large numbers of files.
