Cool!  The last time I ever saw one without suid was 8.0.5.x, and I can't
remember the details about it.  All I can remember is that it would run.
Now, you got me wondering how the listener interacts with or uses the oracle
executable to spawn a dedicated session that it requires suid on the
executable; and what differences (if any) there are when connecting with
shared server with pre-spawn server processes.

I doubt if knowing this has any practical use, but for those who are
terminally bored, looking for something to pass the time ....
