Minor device numbers: too small!

[Jerry Aguirre]

How long will it be before we hear: "User ID numbers: too small!"

Actually this has already happened.  The original unix used a char
to store the user id.  After all, more than 256 users on a PDP-8!
When the system grew they did some tricks of keeping track of who
had logged in.  Finally they went to ints for user ids.
