Before answering question below: an extra data point. Running today on a 
new session, it worked correctly, so like #523646 non deterministic.

$ ck-list-sessions
Session8:
	unix-user = '500'
	realname = 'ael,,,'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = TRUE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2009-06-29T08:24:47.340657Z'
	login-session-id = ''
Session9:
	unix-user = '0'
	realname = 'root'
	seat = 'Seat1'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ''
	x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/pts/0'
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = TRUE
	on-since = '2009-06-29T08:31:59.348241Z'
	login-session-id = ''
	idle-since-hint = '2009-06-29T08:54:18.009762Z'


(Above on system today when no segfault....)

-------------------
Not sure why you wanted id, but:

$ id
uid=500(ael) gid=500(ael) 
groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),104(camera),500(ael),501(scanner),1000(geneweb)


Hope that helps,
