Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric?

Greetings, The title pretty much says it all. I've snooped everywhere and can't find anything on this. Since our organization went to numeric usernames, using the u|U option for ps returns no processes. Example passwd entry: 320074:DjZAJKXun8HBs:10129:6006:Joe Y:/cadhome/analysis/jy:/bin/bash...

VIEW-OS(1)						      General Commands Manual							VIEW-OS(1)

NAME

       viewsu - change (virtual) user ID or become (virtual) superuser

SYNOPSIS

       viewsu [options] [username]

DESCRIPTION

       The viewsu command is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, viewsu defaults to becoming the supe-
       ruser. The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.
       This  command  is  the  View-OS	counterpart  of  the  su(1)  command.	The  value of $PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users, or
       /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the superuser. This may be changed with the ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH definitions in /etc/login.defs.

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the viewsu command are:

       -c, --command COMMAND
	   Specify a command that will be invoked by the shell using its -c.

       -, -l, --login
	   Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.

	   When - is used, it must be specified as the last viewsu option. The other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction.

       -s, --shell SHELL
	   The shell that will be invoked.

	   The invoked shell is chosen from (highest priority first):

	   o   The shell specified with --shell.

	   o   The shell indicated in the /etc/passwd entry for the target user.

	   o	/bin/sh if a shell could not be found by any above method.
