Comment 1 Martin Poole 2008-11-03 16:13:31 UTC 
There is a bug with the print code in that is simply reads the whole file sequentially to meet the man page of printing in UID order. Since the output does not actually include the UID it is a little redundant stating or assuming UID order which therefore gives an optimal way of reworking the code.
