Hi Chris,
will look into your patch.
PS:
I have some additional changes for ports/(GIDs|UIDs) which I cannot find
in the http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/patches/uids/UIDs_1.patch
I could not commit them until PR ports/152498 was committed, will look where
I have those changes so you can include them in your work.
