Make the POSIX::setuid and POSIX::setgid to really call setuid()
and setgid() because they were just changing $< and $( which means
only changing the real uid/gid, as opposed to changing both
real and effective ids.  (The alternative way could have been
in POSIX.pm to change $> and $), too, but making a direct call
to the C API feels cleaner.)  Fixes the bug
