If that's the spool area, it means you get world-writable files in it.

Execd must be able to setuid for that to work, so I assume it is started
as root unless there's some fancy way of using capabilities.

Not past the source, I'm afraid.

Check the logs (messages files) for any clues.  I don't think it has
those symptoms, but there appears to be a race in the threading of the
builtin startup that appears on recent Ubuntu, for instance, but doesn't
on RHEL5 or 6 in our experience.  You can still use ssh per
remote_startup(5).
