ksysguard says: C++ programs should NEVER have setgid/setuid permissions

[Martin Koller]

Hi folks,

I stumbled over the following comment in ksysguard's Porting-HOWTO:

"Since C++ programs
should NEVER have setgid/setuid permissions, a plain C back-end was
needed."

Can anyone enlighten me, why there should be a difference with a setuid program coded in C, C++ or anything else which is
a compiled language ?
