[twitter-dev] Inconsistent responses for particular users -- data for users/show, but Not found for statuses/friends

Hi, I'm getting what look like inconsistent responses from the API for a particular small handful of users. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I can't figure out what; any insight would be appreciated. Here is a sample pair of problematic calls/responses: curl "http://api.twitter.com/1/user
