It seems to work here.
Did you do a "make world", and re-build the kernel?
As I believe, this change also affects other programs and libraries.
I have been using the attached patches on my 2.2.x-STABLE sources for long
user names. These patches are designed to be placed one directory lower in
the src tree (i.e. /usr/src/patches ). Then to update your sources and keep
long user names, you do the following:
make update
( cd /usr/src/patches/usersize16 ; make )
make world
