check_caller(): Call getgid() once and cache its value.
run_script(): Use setregid() copy the effective gid into the real
gid. This works around a problem on some Linux versions where the
effective gid was not being inherited across popen() calls. Should
not affect other systems.
Note: this is wrapped in a HAVE_SETREGID determined by configure. If
the same affected machines don't have this call (unlikely?) then they
can still be broken.
