Hand me the pointy hat.  The "bug" was that my test program
seperated the operation into a function so I could try different
crap, and adding the setuid(geteuid()) put a zero on the stack
in the stack position Mike discovered was being used uninitialized.

Really bizarre.  Shouldn't compiling that stdio code have cause a
warning?!?  Is optimization disabled for the stdio code?!?
