\Other programs that give controlled access to another UID are: opcom
\(comp.sources.unix), su-someone (comp.sources.misc) sudo (don't know).
\But it is unlikely that these know anything about the LD_xxx problem.

One can also use "indir" from comp.sources.unix.
It solves a couple of other problems with "#!" lines as well.
