Sorry I missed this question the first time.  I am anticipating
AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to return a value of 0 or 1 (a boolean) and so I
allow the operations and constants that are valid for a boolean.

In particuluar I allow the opeartions == !=  and the boolean constants 0 and 1.

Good question.  I didn't see that when I was preparing my patch.

ctx is not necessary but I think ctx is set when a task is being audited
so it may serve a useful function.  But I have to admit it that if(ctx)
looks like a bug.
