SGID failed: GID and EGID match (1000) Unexpected exit status 512 from child process

Looks like your /tmp is mounted nosuid. The attached patch ignores this failure and prints a warning.

A note on style:
[...]
+	  /* This can happen if the file system is mounted nosuid. */

Two spaces after the "." and before the "*/", please add an extra one.

Oops. I will fix this and the other occurrences in the file. Does this need a separate changelog entry?
