Should not be.

ChangeLog:

   for multiple reasons.

[..]

20001230

Then we don't attempt to set it if the OS does not have that by default
(which most do, just HURD it seems lacks it, but we had this politic
discussion before).  There was a private discussion on the commit list
after this change which caused me to revert out of setting it for the
broader case.

Doing a grep in the CVS tree shows no where we set it.
