A reason to have SUID bit for fb_lock_mgr is need to deliver signals
between processes of different users.
This is needed for firebird specifically to support also embedded
access to databases.
Embedded access provides much
(up to 3 times) better performance when a huge data should be extracted
from database - this is very useful for some complex statistical
analysis as an example.
Note that fb_lock_mgr is for Firebird 2.1.x, in the last major version
(Firebird 2.5), there is no more fb_lock_mgr.
