%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Windows 7 64bit Nvidia Gtx560

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

2.68-r58917 Library instances cannot grouped after 2 objects. (does not work official 2.68a too)
2.67a and previous, You can add library instance to groups without problems.

- Short description of error ---

Get both files, and load Groupingfailure.blend and try add fourth cube to existing Group. We can add only 2 instances on time.

With group menu [Object->Group->Add to active group] this will work? It Produce error:(Could not add the group because depency cycles detected) I am not sure is produce really some kind depency cycles with grouping librarylinked groups) But they are work before and they still work if I make them group with objects group menu.. - Get both files, and load Groupingfailure.blend and try add fourth cube to existing Group.

%%%Ookay, new information. Atttached grouping failure demo Crashes while loading any version. I try to reproduce this error. When I test this before everything goes fine, except error to make object group. But now loading Groupingfailure.blend crashes all versions and seems crash Burster too.

This problem started when try to make group linked library instances and then save and load this few times. Then we have a dead .blend file.
This is serious becouse we have heavily linked library project.

%%%I found previous version from .blend1 that present original situation. I attached it named Groupingfailure_notcrashed.blend. Then I remove objects from group and add them back before I have dead file. I cannot replicate crash file again, but proves something is wrong in this.

Happy bughunting anyway.

%%%Regarding the crash, files saved between revision 58855 and 58959 may crash when opened in Blender version before 58855. That's caused by an unfortunate bug between those revisions, you can resave the files with a Blender with revision 58959 or newer, then they should open fine in any Blender version again.%%%
