Correct MAXUID

Description

Correct MAXUID

The uid_t on most systems is in fact and unsigned 32-bit value.
This is almost always correct, however you could compile your
kernel to use an unsigned 16-bit value for uid_t. In practice
I've never encountered a distribution which does this so I'm
willing to overlook this corner case for now.

Closes #165
