 I've had some time to poke through the kernel sources, and it sure looks
 like ufs_quota and company are checking the effective UID (that is what
 cr_uid is, no?)  I don't yet understand why that was zero in the case of
 my test program (I proved this also by adding a kernel printf just to make
 sure, and it did print 0).
