Apparently, Linux doesn't honor setuid bits on scripts.
I had no idea this was the case -- and I don't care to admit how many hours
I spent trying to figure that out.
If this is correct, please put a note to that effect in the chmod
documentation. Even a -pointer- to a note would be ever-so-handy.

I'm not sure where this should be documented, other than that it
certainly shouldn't be in fileutils/coreutils. Maybe in each shell, but
the restriction on setuid scripts is from the kernel... At any rate the
bug doesn't belong here, and is probably more of a general "learning
linux shell scripting" thing.
