They do have saved ids, and they have needed to fix things >in a posixly correct way. A POSIXly correct way would handle all possible settings of _POSIX_SAVED_IDS. Configuration for the case where _POSIX_SAVED_IDS is set is difficult because the configuring entity must read the system documentation to determine what "appropriate privilege" means and generate code to handle any mismatches between the system's idea of appropriate privilege and what the application expects :-).
