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...

NAME

       ftphosts - FTP Server individual user host access file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ftpd/ftphosts

DESCRIPTION

       The ftphosts file is used to allow or deny access to accounts from specified hosts. The following access capabilities are supported:

       allow username addrglob [addrglob...]

           Only allow users to login as username from host(s) that match addrglob.

       deny username addrglob [addrglob...]

           Do not allow users to login as username from host(s) that match addrglob.

       A username of * matches all users. A username of anonymous or ftp specifies the anonymous user.

       addrglob  is  a  regular  expression that is matched against hostnames or IP addresses. addrglob may also be in the form address:netmask or
       address/CIDR, or be the name of a file that starts with a slash ('/') and contains additional address  globs.  An  exclamation  mark  (`!')
       placed before the addrglob negates the test.

       The first allow or deny entry in the ftphosts file that matches a username and host is used. If no entry exists for a username, then access
       is allowed. Otherwise, a matching allow entry is required to permit access.

EXAMPLES

       You can use the following ftphosts file to allow anonymous access from any host except those on the class A network 10, with the  exception
       of 10.0.0.* IP addresses, which are allowed access:

       allow   ftp   10.0.0.*
       deny    ftp   10.*.*.*
       allow   ftp   *

       10.0.0.* can be written as 10.0.0.0:255.255.255.0 or 10.0.0.0/24.
