>Environment:

	2.2.6-STABLE

>Description:

        Restore(8) uses a signed short as the type for uids in directories, which
        hands negative values to chown() when the userid goes beyond 32767 (2^15 - 1)
        
        The net effect is that directories end up with the wrong userid, making
        restores on systems with lots of users problematic.

>How-To-Repeat:

	restore a dump with userids > 32767

>Fix:
	
	Merge revision 1.8 of src/sbin/restore/dirs.c from current.
