The maximum uid value of USHRT_MAX seems to be set in several places
of NetBSD (1.2).  I found the same limit in the libutil routines.
Will this be changed?

Another similar problem is with the network statistics which use 32-bit
counters which wrap around quite soon.  I filed a PR about this years
ago, but I think the problem is still there.

Anyone going to work on these? :-)
