Doc Text:
On 32-bit architectures, running the "getent passwd" command on a username with a very large user or group identifier (that is, UID or GID greater than 2147483647) resulted in an empty output. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and the getent command now returns the expected output.
