Documentation bug in libc.info(Enable/Disable Setuid)

User-agent: Mutt/1.3.16i

The documentation reads:

     In order to handle both kinds of systems, test for the saved user ID
  feature with a preprocessor conditional, like this:

       #ifdef _POSIX_SAVED_IDS
         setuid (user_user_id);
       #else
         setreuid (geteuid (), getuid ());
       #endif


setuid() should be seteuid(), to set the effective uid!

The next node shows this code snippet in the correct form.

Thanks,
Sam
