Description 
In acl_totext(), when using the ACL_SID_FMT flag, we call into
prsidname() to resolve the username for ephemeral IDs.  This function
has a variety of failure modes, most notably allocation failure
and idmap failure.  However, it simply returns NULL, which is
immediately passed to str_append(), and will promptly cause a segfault.
This error should be handled gracefully, and there should be some
way to recover in this failure case.
