Short: Multi User System Security error fix

This is the source for my error fix for MultiUser. I have tested this for
several months now, without problems. The reason for this late release is that
I could not contact Geert Uytterhoeven. Perhaps now he contacts me ;-)
The fix is for the error in the routine called by the "login OWN" command which
is essential for every MultiUser environement with access control to libraries.
The reason for this is that libraries are all opened by a task called ramlib
which is owned by nobody after startup. So if you want to restrict access to
complete packages you have to "login OWN TASK ramlib" after the login in
user-startup to provide automatic access to the libraries a user may access.
If you don't know of what I'm talking either ask me (email, Rastan@IRC) or
if you are happy with the old version, forget this fix.
You need the full release 1.8 to make use of this file. This file only contains
the corrected multiuser.library.
