OK,

  I am calling the stat C function under bsd4.2 and SR9 for a file
that is 
   ls -ld foo
   d---rwx--- 1 <none>   1024 Aug 22 16:46 foo

 The ACL are as follows:
   foo.group.org.%   pgndcalrse
   %.sys_admin.%.%   pgndcalrse

 I am with uid that is sys_admin. Although the file 'foo' is the home 
dir of user 'foo', calling 
   stat (&buf) 
I get the correct size (1024) mod/cre/acc date/time, but the uid and
gid are garbage. At best the gid is that if sys_admin. Is this fixed 
in SR10 and bsd4.3 ? How can I avoid it now ?
