If you use mktap -u 42, there's a race in
twisted.runner.procmon; the first time the process is started,
it gets started as root, the later runs happen as user
42. This is due to the first run happening from startService,
which is called before setuid(42).
Either the startService() call should be delayed after the
setuid() (separate port binding from other service startup
things), or procmon should use something like callLater.
