The changes look good.  Please apply, Pierre.

FYI:

What bugged me when reading the patch was my decision at one point to
use the phrase "orig_sid".  The "orig_sid" is basically what is called
a "saved id" in POSIX systems and I think it would help reading the
code if we also rename orig_sid/orig_uid/orig_gid to saved_sid/saved_uid/
saved_gid and using the phrase "saved" instead of "orig" or "original"
throughout.

So, after you have applied the patch, I'll do all the renaming within
this week.
