are you sure that this variable is not inherited from the Apache
environment? In many configurations Apache typically runs a process
as root and drops the privileges once it accepts an HTTP connection.
The right way to find out is to use geteuid().
If the effective user id is indeed root, this would look like a
gross oversight by the sourceforge admins. I think that rather
unlikely.
