[bug #65578] Numeric user ID too large when generating the tarball

[Giacomo Lorenzetti]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #65578 (group gnuastro):

Seems good to me, but I'd change "On macOS, it is not able to create" to
something less strong ("may not be able to" ?).
That's because the issue is related to the fact the macOS may use the Apple ID
(that is big because it's valid worldwide, not just on the computer!) as
userid (usually way smaller), so it may happen (and I've reproduced it on
other macs, as written in comment 3 here) that the id used is the "real" one
(and not the Apple ID), and so that the tarball is generated smoothly.
