setuid doesn't work inside of GDB. You have to run the program without a debugger to get level04 permissions.

(Disclaimer: I haven't succeeded yet.)

I mostly live inside a Java world or XCode world, so GDB is almost a totally foreign concept to me - and I definitely welcome the challenge. Never really had to look at assembly before either, so this is a fun learning experience.
