Cause: The terminal window properties were
changed through Windows, or the TERM environment variable is set
incorrectly.
Solution: If you used Windows to change the
properties of the terminal window (by using Console Window
Properties to resize it, for example), close the terminal
window and reopen it. Also, ensure that the TERM environment
variable is set to interix. Interix sets the TERM variable
to interix by default to ensure that all Interix utilities
work correctly, and it should not be changed.
Cause: A user identifier (UID) or group
identifier (GID) value is nearly an illegal value.
Solution: This message is usually a warning of
a potential error condition. It is not an actual error unless it is
accompanied by the error message: "A user or group id with a value
too large to make into a uid_t has been encountered, and converted
into a reserved UID value." This error message is discussed in the
next troubleshooting topic.
Cause: Interix cannot construct a user
identifier (UID) or group identifier (GID) because the network has
a very large number of domains and a domain has a very large number
of users and groups.
