Bother! Yes, I should have kept the example program in sync. (I
overlooked that it was not any more in sync.)

So, I want to make sure I understand correctly, before I aswer your
question. Suppose we have

1. Outer namespace owned by UID 0
2. Inner namespace owned by UID 1000
3. A UID mapping in the inner namespace that maps '0 1000 1'
4. A processs, X, in the outer namespace with UID 0 (and all caps).

That's the case you're meaning, right? So, UID 0 doesn't have a
mapping into the inner namespace, but does have all capabilities in
that inner namespace, right?

Cheers,

Michael
