Missing UID from "ps -W"

[Danyi-Zsilák András <danyi dot andras at ext dot telekom dot hu>]

Hi,

I try to use "ps -W" to monitor processes, but UID is 0 except for processes started in cygwin. Is it a bug or a feature?

14:13:50[siebel@CRMDOCTRN1:~]$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0 CRMDOCTRN1 1.7.10(0.259/5/3) 2012-02-05 12:36 i686 Cygwin

14:14:11[siebel@CRMDOCTRN1:~]$ ps --version
ps (cygwin) 1.7.10
