Public bug reported:
Our company uses numeric usernames (people's "social ID nº"). These
numbers may be bigger than an ulong variable. When we do ps -U "numeric
username" we get "user ID out of range" error.
Ex:
root@test:~# ps -U 56563882714
error: user ID out of range
This is impacting particularly the Vagrant's usage, as this tool uses
the ps's -U option extensively.
Attached is a patch that is working for us. Please validate or correct it.
Thanks.
