[Bug 5574] [review] new setuid code broken under perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5574

Is t/root_spamd_u_dcc.t supposed to be a test case for this bug? It isn't in any
of the attachments here.

On my high-latency satellite connection I fail root_spamd_u_dcc.t unless the
timeout in the last loop of tests is increased from 10 seconds. Setting it to 30
seconds works fine for me. The test only takes as long as is necessary when
there is not a timeout, so increasing the limit will not slow down make test on
systems that don't have a problem.

Running under FreeBSD 6.2 with perl 5.8.8, using svn trunk and branches/3.2 all
tests passed both with and without the patches. So the patches don't break
anything, but I did not reproduce the problem that they are supposed to fix. I
did have DCC installed and DCC tests enabled, but not Pyzor.

To reproduce the problem is DCC supposed to be installed to run under some user
other than root? I just did a default install, which runs DCC as root.

If everyone who has seen this problem can say that the patch fixes it for them
I'll vote +1 for it, with t/root_spamd_u_dcc.t added in and with it's timeout
bumped up from 10 seconds to 30.
