RealUID, UID guardado, UID efectivo. ¿Que esta pasando

Este es un programa set-root-uid

$ls -l
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 7406 2011-12-13 22:37 ./x*

El código fuente:

int main(void) {
    printf(
        "         UID           GID  \n"
        "Real      %d  Real      %d  \n"
        "Effective %d  Effective %d  \n",
             getuid (),     getgid (),
             geteuid(),     getegid()
    );

seteuid(600);
    printf(
        "         UID           GID  \n"
        "Real      %d  Real      %d  \n"
        "Effective %d  Effective %d  \n",
             getuid (),     getgid (),
             geteuid(),     getegid()
    );

setuid(1000);

    printf(
        "         UID           GID  \n"
        "Real      %d  Real      %d  \n"
        "Effective %d  Effective %d  \n",
             getuid (),     getgid (),
             geteuid(),     getegid()
    );

setuid(0); // HOW DOES THIS SUCCEED IN SETTING THE EUID BACK TO 0
    printf(
        "         UID           GID  \n"
        "Real      %d  Real      %d  \n"
        "Effective %d  Effective %d  \n",
             getuid (),     getgid (),
             geteuid(),     getegid()
    );

    return 0 ;       
}

SALID

         UID           GID  
Real      1000  Real      1000  
Effective 0  Effective 0  
         UID           GID  
Real      1000  Real      1000  
Effective 600  Effective 0  
         UID           GID  
Real      1000  Real      1000  
Effective 1000  Effective 1000  
         UID           GID  
Real      1000  Real      1000  
Effective 0  Effective 1000

Mi pregunt

La página de manual dice que setuid cambiará el uid real, guardado y efectivo. Entonces, después de la llamadasetuid(1000), los tres cambian a1000. Como es esosetuid(0) déjame cambiareuid a0?
