I agree that this is a generic change, not a FreeBSD specific issue.
We are *not* the only system to go to longer than 8 character
usernames (I think BSDI beat us by a fair number of months) and I'm
sure that making top deal with flexible name lengths would be of more
than general interest.

Unfortunately, I don't know that anyone has taken any specific
responsibility for top in FreeBSD.  If someone has, that person
should probably step forward at this point. ;-)
