It is not workaround but hack. You silently assume that all characters
above 10 is not sufficient which is not true in general case.
Why not replace by '*' _first_ 10 characters instead :-)
Top must do the same thing as ps does, i.e. calculate max length of user
name and align outbut with this value.
