But why does it need to call this? Isn't everything running as the user already?

Hey,
this is a bit of guesswork, but,
- getgit get the _real_ real gid
- setgit sets the _effective_ gid Thus you reset the effective s/gid.

Can anyone explain to my why libXcomp calls setgid/setuid in Pipe.cpp:Popen() after calling fork()? It also isn't checking the results of the call, but I'm really not sure why the calls are there in the first place.
switch (pid = Fork()) { ... case 0: { // // Child. //
setgid(getgid()); setuid(getuid());Nothing is running as a setuid/setgid process is it?
