/* This hack brought to you so we can handle set[ug]id MH programs.  If we
   return NOTOK, then no fork is made, we update .mh_profile normally, and
   return to the caller normally.  If we return 0, then the child is
   executing, .mh_profile is modified after we set our [ug]ids to the norm.
   If we return > 0, then the parent is executed and .mh_profile has
   already be modified.  We can just return to the caller immediately. */
