It's broken.

Remember the isid patches that you reviewed of mine trying to fix the
isid code in target_core_transport.c? I can't remember all the details but
I think it was that the aptpl code thinks the buffer is in the format that
sess_get_initiator_sid uses and is trying to do something similar as
target_core_transport.c.

I can't find the version of the patches you had looked at. This was the first
version of the patch:
