I was looking at this patch and noticed that SYSTEM_USER returns a
"name", meaning that the value would be automatically truncated at 63
characters. We shouldn't imply that as authn_ids can be longer than
that, and this issue gets a bit worse once with the auth_method
appended to the string.

Are you sure that !$use_unix_sockets is safe here? Could we have
platforms where we use our port's getpeereid() with $use_unix_sockets
works? That would cause the test to fail with ENOSYS. Hmm. Without
being able to rely on HAVE_GETPEEREID, we could check for the error
generated when the fallback implementation does not work, and skip the
rest of the test.
