Bug Description

Linux doesn't allow a process to send signals to another process if that other process is not running as the same user (unless the sending process is running as root).

We need to use an suid wrapper to call mupip intrpt so that we're allowed to send signals to mumps processes running as other users. We also need to call mupip stop in an suid wrapper. I'm not sure about lke.
