------- Additional Comments From wart@xxxxxxxxxx  2006-04-25 19:58 EST -------
The setgid handling could be improved to be a little safer.  The current setgid
patch uses "setegid()" to temporarily drop setgid rights until it tries to write
to the score file.  It would be better if the scorefile were opened once at the
beginning of the program, then dropped permanently with setresgid().

Additionally, the "LoadScores()" function shouldn't need any setgid/getgid code
at all if you make the high score file mode 0664 (it's currently 0060).  I don't
see any reason why it couldn't be world readable.

I'll do a full review, but it would be easier if the above items were fixed in
CVS first.
