Oops, I was confused.  For some reason I thought you passed the torch --
maybe because of all the (excellent) pccard work and by-laws pushing.
:-)  Sorry.

Possibly.  rtld-elf is younger than issetugid, but probably it was
started from the a.out rtld, which used the same style check (as our
current rtld-elf).

At any rate I'm convinced after looking at issetugid's use in the
resolver, and thinking about it.  I don't see that any (legit)
functionality would be lost by using issetugid, so I'll go ahead and
change it.  

Feel free to tweak if you learn something different, but I think this
horse is dead.  And do have a look at rtld-elf -- I suspect it is the
same type of oversight.

Cheers,
