I need to be able to get the login identifier of a calling process from
wihin a C program. The description of pm_$get_sid_txt advertises that
it does just that, and pm_$get_sid_txt returns a string in a useful
format. Unfortunately, the sid (login identifier) that pm_$get_sid_txt
returns can be changed by changing enivronment variables!

Is there an equivalent call or a series of calls that will produce a
login identifier that can be trusted (i.e., not affected by changes in
environment variables)?
