This fixes the bug. With set -e, the grep on line 75 (X=...) causes
the script to abort if the regex is not found in the configuration
file, which is what will happen if it was not already there.
`suidregister` ran fine from a commandline, since 'set -e' is not in
effect then. But from a postinst, it is.
I think that maybe 'set -e' should have file scope.
Here's the patch:
