Bug #9382: AIX cron non root user fails

Changing crontab entries for non root users on AIX does not work.
The problem is that Util.execute sets the effective UID before the UID. This
causes the setreuid system call to fail with EPERM because the effective UID is
not root when trying to set the uid.
Fix is to reverse the calls in Util.execute.
