In our implementation, we simply refused to checkpoint setid

True. And this works very well for HPC applications.

However, it doesn't work so well for server applications, for
instance.

Also, you could use file system snapshotting to ensure that the file
system view does not change, and still face the same issue.

So I'm perfectly ok with deferring this discussion to a later time :)

Oren, is this a good place to stick a process_deny_checkpoint()?  Both
so we refuse to checkpoint, and document this as something that has to
be addressed later?
