if User directive is set to root then boa mistakenly
will give error

irks Linux kernel bug.

This is result of thinking that setuid(0) returning 0
is an error when that is legitamate because boa is
correctly running as root at the time the call is made.

    I think this sould be managed in another way (different error
    message or so), but as Boa is designed with safety in mind, it
    is logical that it does not accept to run as root.
