Arla 0.20 and linux 2.2-pre9, misc problems, probably not kernel specific

It seems to be working ok for me.
I do notice one problem. It appears that Arla treats PAG's differently than
transarc's AFS. If I do an su to root while logged in, with a token, I no
longer have the token, or the pag, in the su'd session:
Here is a transcript to show the problem:
---------
infinity(46)>tokens
Tokens held by the Cache Manager:
User's (AFS ID 5879) tokens for afs at umr.edu [Expires Feb 23 14:18]
--End of list--
infinity(47)>klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_tty2

Yes, I am using a mixture of transarc excutables and AFS, but only to
demonstrate the problem. Might be good if arla included a tokens executable.
Probably is easy enough to write, in fact, I believe I have the code lying
around somewhere to do it.
