Login/Pandor bug with big uid/gid

We're having a problem with IRIX System V Release 3.2 and login/pandora.
Both entry points croak when either of the gid/uid pair is >2^15 (but
still <2^16). Apparently someone coded with "short" when they ought to
have said "ushort".

Has anyone else seen this? Has this been reported before? Is it fixed in
Release 3.3 (which I gather is out)?

Any help would be appreciated.
