I've taken your code and changed it a bit so that both, `gid' and
`egid', are in the list of supplementary groups and that this is only
done if `getuid () == 0'. Does this still fix your problem?

I _was_ thinking about calling `getgroups' first to see if the (e)gid
are in the list already and then possibly adding them. I didn't do that
I frankly I don't recall why. Maybe I'll add that tomorrow.
