%U only works for NT because i hacked it, by setting a global BOOLean flag
and using it to indicate thatsamlogon_user psrring should be temporarily
used instead of sesssetup_user pstring.

this is _not_ a solution, it's something i thought up  after 2 minutes as
the easiest work-around, over 2 yeasrs ago.
