Well, while you're most likely correct, I'll mention that it works fine on
my amd64 system but not on my i386 system, both of which have close to the
same kernel version.  (3.10.5 vs. 3.10.7)

It's worth noting that I'm just running the current kernel from Debian
testing, so if it doesn't work for that kernel version in general, it
won't work for all testing users.

The patch makes the warning about the kernel version go away, but cpm
still won't start.  It just exits after reporting the error:

Cannot drop root privileges. (689)

This is running cpm out of the build tree after compiling it as a regular
user (with that patch).
