[issue6873] posix_lchown: possible overflow of uid, gid

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I think the new patch is still incorrect. You now pass long variables into 
the i argument parser. Also, I would expect that compilers prefer to see 
an explicit cast from long to uid_t, in case it's a truncating cast.

Can you try your patch on a system where all this is an actual problem?
