+	* Fixed a possible security problem, reported by John Lightsey. See
+	  Debian bug #638002. The return value of seteuid() calls was handled
+	  wrong or not at all. Now, the (already available) set_euidgid()
+	  function is used when possible. Additionally, removed the unnecessary
+	  identity change when writing into an already open file descriptor.
