uidnobody and gidnobody are nobody's business #238

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
on Unix systems, emu/*/os.c fetches the uid and gids of "nobody" to be used by 
emu/*/cmd.c in an obscure way (eg, when up->env->uid is -1). this should stop. 
it will only work anyway if running as nobody or as root(!), and even then it's 
only invoked in peculiar cases, when it would be better to stop.
