The standard requires user & process ID's to be specified as decimal integers, and that's the way it has traditionally worked (it used atoi() before). Users should be able to specify leading zeros without causing the number to be interpreted as octal. I believe accepting hexadecimal and octal numbers was a mistake introduced by christos@netbsd while modifying renice to use strtol() instead of atoi().
