Description 
Doing:

ppriv -s P-proc_info $$

fails with a "not owner" error message.

Running

ppriv -s E-proc_info $$

and then

ppriv -s P-proc_info $$

does work.

ppriv(1) doesn't say what the expected behaviour is, but getppriv(2)/setppriv(2) says:

    Privileges removed  from  PRIV_PERMITTED  are  silently
    removed from PRIV_EFFECTIVE.

so I would have expected ppriv(1) to behave similarly.
Work Around
