in thread setuid script won't behave in 5.10, but did in 5.8

I've just tried perl 5.10.1 as supplied with the Ubuntu 10.04 pre-release, and IT IS STILL BROKEN :-(((((

Because of this I will now have a large chunk of urgent unplanned work to find and implement an alternative to the elegant approach I had using suid.

1000 years purgatory to all programmers who think that the presence of a test package releases them from the need to think about what they are doing.
