It's probably a bug in SORT.

I took a moment to dig into the BPX interface for this, I found BPX1PWD, which
documents __passwd(). It also documents __passwd_applid(), but provides no
interface information for it (although it discusses it as if it were a
different interface) and provides alternatives to using the __passwd_applid BPX
interface if you wanted to set fields in the BPX thread info yourself.
Seems like there is some doc confusion there...
I didn't find a separate BPX offset definition for __passwd_applid().
Is the _only_ way to specify the APPLID via directly setting fields in the
BPXYTHLI thread-info or is there an actual BPX-level interface for this?
