I actually wrote an exploit for this and posted it on VUL-DEV.  The
exploit would get egid 12 (games) if I had bothered to put a setregid()
call in the shellcode.  My attempts had failed.  It will however get euid
0 from a default source installation that placed xsoldier in
/usr/local/games as setuid root.

I didnt think it was interesting enough to post on bugtraq, but since this
came up here is a link to the exploit if anyone wants to toy with it.
