And what if somebody with a 16 character login name logs in? You can't
take a snapshot of what is currently visible and assume that no new uid's
are going to turn up...
I had considered trying to expand the column on demand when/if a username
longer than 8 characters logs in. Would that make sense? I don't think
it's too hard but it will require more tweaks inside src/contrib/top.
