Linux 2.4 and UID > 65535

[Kevin Mitchell <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there.  I doubt anyone else has run into this problem, but you never
know.  I've upgraded several machines to Linux 2.4.1 especially because it
supports UIDs over 65535 (2.2 didn't).  While that's great, ps is giving
me this kinda error:

root@server:~# /bin/ps -u biguser
ps: error: User ID out of range.

I've upgraded to procps version 2.0.7 (the latest according to Freshmeat)
but that didn't fix it.

According to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes I am up to date with all
software revisions with the exception of:

util-linux (maybe...)
e2fsprogs (1.19 is recommended, I have 1.18)

Any ideas out there?

TIA

Kevin
