Well, I just had a look at my O'Reily 4.4BSD-Lite CD-ROM, and this is
what 4.4BSD-Lite does as well.

It's become obvious to me now that setreuid() is broken. This is livable,
I suppose, as it's a deprecated system call anyway.

However, it's a bit much to then have a program distributed with the
system use this deprecated system call, and break because the system
call is broken!
