Does the program alter any of the files? Check the time stamp of the file before and after you run it as root. Otherwise, I would suspect the problem may be elsewhere. eg [1] if (environment(LOGNAME)!=root) crash(); ;-) (I am not sure if sudo resets environment variables for root or not as I don't use it).
