The ikiwiki-mass-rebuild utility fails to drop privileges and fails to execute ikiwiki on FreeBSD.
The solution is to set the effective UID after setting the real UID, and to set $PATH in the environment before calling exec().
> Why does the PATH need to be reset? --[[Joey]]
> > It doesn't - it needs to be set. The line with `%ENV=();` clears the environment, thus no `$PATH` is set. --[[HenrikBrixAndersen]]
> > > I guess it shouldn't clear it then. Both [[done]] --[[Joey]]
