This kind of patch could really use some careful review by someone with
a good knowledge of Posix security, given the sensitive nature of any
kind of privilege checking code. I know there are many pitfalls in the
various APIs, I just don't know what they are.

It's useful to have things tested, but in this case, I don't feel like
it's sufficient to know whether there are corner cases which aren't
correctly handled.
