I was starting to write a long response when all of a sudden the light
when on; the setuid was set BUT THE OWNER WAS EXIM NOT ROOT!!! (as it
was with 4.42)

Gee, how come it works now?

Am I ever red faced.

Note to self:

Never bother the list late at night when not all of the synapses are firing.

Thanks
