Thankyou for the patch.
I think as written this is not secure, because on some platforms it
will leave the process with some root privileges. I might be wrong,
but it needs to be checked again the "Setuid Demystified" whitepaper.
Once somebody (you/me/somebody else) checks that and writes a test
case I am happy to merge it.
