Using a 64bit variable to temporarily hold the parsed value works only on Little Endian. uid_t and gid_t (and therefore also pw->pw_uid and gr->gr_gid) are 32bit. To fix this, use uid_t/gid_t for the temporary variable but keep the 64bit one for numeric parsing so values exceeding 32bits are still detected.
