It used to be possible to test for the presence of 544 in the bash array GROUPS
or the output of the /usr/bin/id program to determine when running as
administrator.
Since updating to the latest version this no longer works.
E.g. while running as administrator:
$ echo ${GROUPS[@]}
197121 114 1

Since the latest upgrade the following python program causes an "Aborted (core
dumped)" error:
#!/usr/bin/python
import ctypes
import zlib
a = 1
If the order of imports is reversed (zlib then ctypes) no core dump error
