This is not entirely true. I did do all initial work on 2.0, but since
getcwd works more or less automatically in 2.1, I decided to make it
my working platform. The 2.0 code should be as stable as the 2.1 code,
the only difference in functionality should be that getcwd works
poorly in the 2.0 code.

The problem persists in the latest version. It is not true that _all_
suid/sgid programs dies, though. I have seen different behaviour on
different architectures.
