I've confirmed that the sub-task isn't running as root

the result.)
Getgid() gets the group id. And, it gets the *real* group id, not the
effective group id, which is what running with elevated group
privileges would change.
Getuid() and geteuid() report the real and effective user id, and you
can use setuid() to lower the privileges of a running app, if you
need to.
