I found the problem.

id -un return the username with length > 9 characters.
pgrep "grep" based in only 9 characters.

My pgrep works with usernames longer than 9 characters (Ubuntu 9.04). Perhaps you ran into a bug with pgrep.

At any rate, I see no reason to use the username vs the user number so I think we will adopt your patch.

      libs.
