  Most people have said this for obvious reasons, but the ld manpage says
that will not search anything (for suid binaries) other than the trusted
paths for dynamically linked libraries even if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set. Is
this statement false? Is there a way around it? Is LD_PRELOAD_PATH documented
anywhere?:-)
