At the kernel level, credentials (UIDs and GIDs) are a per-thread
attribute. NPTL uses a signal-based mechanism to ensure that
when one thread changes its credentials, all other threads change
credentials to the same values. By this means, the NPTL
implementation conforms to the POSIX requirement that the threads
in a process share credentials.

This was fixed in glibc 2.1.1, which is a long while ago.
And in any case, there is nothing special about this case;
it's just one of those times when glibc lags.

Actually a dummy commit to mark the fact that I mashed commit
e8db1b97eb to have the wrong
author. Come release time, I'll at least fix the Changelog
to note that the author was Scot Doyle.
