not unless thats some new default - I even went into kern_exec.c and 
commented out the if statement which disables suid if the process is 
traced or mounted nosuid and it didnt help.

I note also that if you drop a program into the general path (ie 
/usr/local/bin) the user doesnt see it till they log out and back in.

Im wondering if it isnt a mmap issue.
