Description Alexandre Oliva 2005-01-27 05:54:05 UTC

Unless you cast rc[1] to int when initializing STARTING_UID,
getPrefixes() will compare it with user ids lexicographically, as
opposed to numerically.  If you happen to have the default 
STARTING_UID as "500" and user ids starting at 1000, you lose :-(  The
patchlet below fixes the problem.
