Fine. I'll send a patch straight away.

No, you're right. Sorry for that, I was confused; it looks actually
like the 4.4BSD (not 4.3BSD) semantics makes more sense than the Posix
saved IDs one.
It looks like it's safe to remove the check for _POSIX_SAVED_IDS.
I'll send a patch.

It looks like it's a security hole on _POSIX_SAVED_IDS systems.
