Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-3
Severity: important
ps shows sometimes the uids instead of the username in the first field
(here an example)
[...]
10262 6899 0.0 0.0 57124 2704 ? S 12:55 0:00 sshd: [EMAIL
PROTECTED]/0
10262 6900 0.0 0.1 43360 4156 pts/0 Ss+ 12:55 0:00 -bash
[...]
10262 should be der_schakal.
another example here:
ps aux | grep ^[0-9] | cut -c 1-5 | sort | uniq -c
1 101
2 10262
3 102
In my eyes this is NOT an bug of procps, but of glibc, but I'm not sure,
so at first I wrote an bugreport against procps.

Yes it does. It's not a bug. It's documented it will do this for long
uids.
