        Sure you weren't looking at the real uid instead of the
effective uid?


lemur:/home/fletch 401# cp /bin/bash /tmp/bash                         14:29:57
lemur:/home/fletch 402# chmod 4755 /tmp/bash                           14:30:10
lemur:/home/fletch 403#                                                14:30:15
lemur:~ 445> /tmp/bash -c id                                           14:30:18
uid=294(fletch) gid=100(users) euid=0(root) groups=100(users),20(games)


        Looks like it's running as root to me.  Another posibility is
that whatever you copied to was a filesystem mounted with nosuid
enabled in the options.
