But the suid bit will disappear after changing the file (or is this a
special of some shells?):

$ touch setuidprog
$ chmod 4755 setuidprog
$ ls -l setuidprog
-rwsr-xr-x    1 roland   wizard          0 Feb 23 13:28 setuidprog
$ echo "we just fubared setuidprog" > setuidprog
$ ls -l setuidprog
-rwxr-xr-x    1 roland   wizard         27 Feb 23 13:28 setuidprog

I tried this with ash and tcsh.

Maybe I'm not paranoid enough today?

Tschoeeee
