I have a large unix uid: $ id uid=800154870(ruttbe) gid=705(www)
it seems the emacs server of pretest 92 can't cope with this, possibly b/c of the limit on emacs lisp's integer size. perhaps calc should be used, as it can handle bignums? also `file-attributes' may have a problem with this large UID. see the backtrace upon M-x server-start after an emacs -q: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (range-error "truncate" 800154870.0) format("/tmp/emacs%d" 800154870.0) byte-code("=8c1=8c2!=88=..."
