OK.
I have a very first experimental version which works for me. It also
requires a new flag 'cygheap->user.is_restricted_token' to tell
spawn_guts() to use CreateProcessAsUser().
I will post the patch in a few days.
A question:
Why does seteuid32() call 'set_cygwin_privileges ()' on 'curr_imp_token'
and not on 'curr_primary_token' ? The curr_primary_token is used for
impersonation and therefore the privileges are not set for the thread
itself.
