But if this had to be the case, then static files would be served by a
Cherokee process running as root - which seems to me to be quite
dangerous (potentially serving up any file on your machine).

I'm not a programmer, but if the other guys can identify the issue and
have www-data communicate to the main cherokee process to spawn the
interpreter as a given user, that would be the best solution.
