Yes, you're right, Bill. We really need that the %restart section is run
as the super-user because once the run-command process has downgraded
its privileges, it cannot upggrade it again.
This bug was introduced by me when I upgraded from MySQL 4 to 5. I
cannot remember why I thought that the restricted user privileges are
sufficient there.
Anyway, now fixed and MFC'ed to 2-STABLE and 2-STABLE-20060622:

Thanks for the hint, Bill.
