./xc/programs/xload/xload.c:166:    setuid(getuid()); ### return value of setuid not checked.
Comment 1 Alan Coopersmith 2008-12-01 08:24:17 UTC 
6.9.0 is an obsolete release, issued almost three years ago.   Much work has
happened since then in the X11R7.x series of releases, of which 7.4 is the latest,
from September 2008.   This bug was fixed in those releases in 2006.
