What's the objection to clearing possibly-contaminated structures when a program signifies its done with a privileged resource? the objection is that for 99% or more of the cases this is *NOT* necessary. also, you're trying to fix the effect rather than the cause. regardless: until just now, netbsd allowed a process that was set[gu]id to dump core _if_ it no longer was. i've fixed this (just check for SUGID in coredump()).
