Sorry guys, I forgot to mention anything ABOUT koules in my first post.
Just some background information, it is a game that is shipped suid root
(I'm pretty sure) because it uses svga.

It's not suid here:

darkstar:/usr/local/sbin# ls -l /usr/games/koules /usr/games/koules.svga
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Dec 13  1998 /usr/games/koules
-> koules.svga*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       131556 Jun  4  1998
/usr/games/koules.svga*

Thanks,
