Ah, "aklog -setpag" has been unable to set the PAG in the calling
process on recent linux kernels, because the child process can't
change the credentials of its parent process.

In the current development branch there is new code to make this work
with kernel 2.6.32 and above - not sure if this will get ported back
to 1.4.
