-	 *    i.e. manipulating files under the lib directory
-	 *
-	 *    safe_setuid_drop();
-	 *
-	 * Please never ever make unmatched calls to these grab/drop functions.
-	 *
-	 * Please note that temporary files used by various information commands
-	 * and ANGBAND_DIR_USER files shouldn't be manipulated this way, because
-	 * they reside outside of the lib directory on multiuser installations.
