It's also potentially irrelevent to the actual AFS ID in the=20
token as well. Since this is encrypted in the AFS key, there is
no real way for the OS to know what it is. It's just makes it's
best guess based on the mapping of username to pts id.

Given a sufficiently convoluted setup, this mapping can be wrong.
