Set-uid and set-gid programs will not work correctly under trace (security feature).

A warning is currently printed (#296), but it might be possible to do something better. I'm thinking we could run the tracer as root, but have it start the program with user privileges, since currently all you can do is run everything as root.

Continuation of #295
