Actually, there's a different issue here; if I recall correctly, spamd's
children run as ruid=root euid=root when they're *not* processing a message, so
that they can switch to other users' UIDs during a scan.

This is required because a single child proc may scan several hundred
messages before exiting; it's a preforked server pool, not a single-scan
child as in previous versions of SpamAssassin.     

btw, regarding the patch, how does that relate to bug 3586, which was a rewrite
of the setuid code in spamd to work with MacOS X and explicitly changed that
code to what it is now?
