Excuse me for missing that out, if this patch format is okie I will resend it with the

  I am not very clear with what you are pointing at, but let me take a shot. bin and nobody 
are 2 users used in the test case. I am not sure who or where it is getting created, but 
what I did observe is that they don't have the same privileges. GID of bin is in the list of 
supplementary group ids of root while nobody is not. If this is the case chmod/fchmod won't 
clear S_IGSID bit of the file, as you can read from man page of chmod/fchmod.
  Nobody won't be in any man page as this User was created by LTP, I suppose, to use in this 
test case.
Thanks
