disserve tries to install itself setuid 32000 , but was unsuccessful
due to a lack of SA tokens. Somebody should fix this.

I think install also did the wrong thing upon failure:

-rw-r--r--  1 32000  mit  73728 Jan 26  1995 disserve

Are we agreed that it should try and perform the non-setuid permission
fixes if the setuid ones fail? Maybe that's too afs-specific?

More seriously, what's our policy on dealing with setuid stuff in
Makefiles?
