Greetings,
	One of the changes between 18.54 and 18.57 was with display-time
and loadst.  Previously loadst was the one getting the load average
information.  Because we like to protect /dev/kmem 640 root,kmem I simply
had to make loadst setgid kmem and it worked.

	I tried, worrying about a lot of potential problems, making
emacs (eek!) setgid kmem.  When I do so the load-average function can
get the information it needs.

	One of the problems of having emacs setgid kmem, is that it
breaks quite a few functions.  For instance, shell doesn't work.
The message is: 'csh: permission denied'.  Am I hitting on some 
security feature that would prevent doing an exec while egid != gid?

	Am I the only one with this problem?  Do you know of any fix
or workaround?

	BTW, this is with SunOS 4.1 on SPARC.
							Marc.
