But if the tkill fails in __synccall, do_setxid() will never be called
at all (that's what line 87 in synccall.c does). So the original value
will remain.
Perhaps __synccall should return failure in that case, after doing
everything else. Then the logic could otherwise remain untouched, and
__setxid could respond appropriately to the failure itself.
