Examine sftp-client.c and note 'a.flags &= ~SSH2_FILEXFER_ATTR_UIDGID;'
which basically does what I suggest and acknowledges the standpoint. The
catch is that it's done in wrong place and that it should be done on
server side, not client. The fact that it guards against broken clients
is a side effect, not goal.
