The proper way to do this is to get the current profile handle before 
you change anything. Store this in a variable. Get the new user handle 
and swap. When done swap back using the saved handle you got 
previously.

The same process applies when using profile tokens.

You are likely running into authority problems where the new user 
(under whose authority the job is now running) is not authorised to the 
original profile.

As to why the CGI job dies I don't know but may be due to invalidating 
handles or tokens etc. due to authority problems.
