[rt-users] Setting "Let this user be granted rights" or calling SetPrivileged: mason_handler.fcgi => weeds

[Tim Berger]

With RT 3.4.4, I can't seem to make unprivileged users privileged any
more.  After setting the checkmark and choosing "Save Changes", mason
seems to go off into the weeds, using java-like quantities of cpu and
memory until I kill it.  This is an upgraded installation from 3.0.10,
if that makes any difference.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

Here's an exerpt from an strace:
