What makes you think that isn't a toolbar users token?

I tracked down an issue with a friends (poorly written) shopping cart software duplicating a users order because Googlebot had crawled the users checkout session URLs in order. In that case I believe they were looking for differences in page responses to users and crawlers to detect cloaking (but that is just a theory for the behavior)
