Actually, mail.local makes setreuid() to change euid to that of the user
it is delivering to. I naively thought it was enough for quota system
to work. Though it doesn't. I asked the same question some time ago,
and was told that it is not the quota system broken, but mail.local.

Though I doubt that such a simple prog as mail.local may be broken
(and for so long time), I agree that a little hacking of it is
easier than hacking libc. ;)
