Yeah, I know what you mean.  I have to setuid(0) get the info then reset the
uid when I grab the file info from disk.  This is harmless if you reset it, but
if you don't watch out, 'Instant Super-User'.     I make damn sure it
get's reset before exiting the routine.

Extra info would be nice, but program that are not written for the GUI will
possibly choke, and we want to avoid that.  What would be very, extramely
useful would be if uWare had a word for the attr.  That way we could tell the
difference between bin data and binary files and text.  Oh well...
