x64, eh.  

Does a simple test of os.setgid() outside of skunk fail when run as
root?  If so, what about a non-Python test (run as root):

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main(void) {
  if (0==setgid(5)) {
    printf("setgid works\n");
    return 0;
  } else {
    perror("setgid doesn't work");
    return 1;
  }
}
