[OpenAFS] New "feature" of fs setacl....removal of obsolete entries?

[Renata Maria Dart]

Hi, we recently (since we upgraded our db servers to 1.2.11 ?) started 
noticing a change in the 'fs setacl' command.  If an acl contains
a user entry which no longer exists in the pts database, for example
the entry for number 4079 in the following output:

renata@victoria $ 11:25 fs listacl .
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  system:administrators rlidwka
  harold rli
  4079 rlidwka
  

an fs setacl command applied to that directory now removes the obsolete 
entry, even though the fs setacl command does not specifically make that 
change.  For example,

  fs setacl . harold rlidwk

applied to the entry with the above acl would end up as:

Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  system:administrators rlidwka
  harold rlidwk

In addition to the change requested, the 4079 entry has been removed,
even though the fs setacl did not request that.  I would like to verify 
that this is a new  "feature" and not aberrant behavior on the part of 
fs setacl.

Thanks,

Renata
