0.10.14, Darwin, npm update uid issue #5904

That's caused by ed80638. Apparently npm is feeding fs.chown() or fs.fchown() an UID < 0. |

Is there a solution other than rolling back to .13? |

You can wait and roll forward to .15 :) |

And process.getgid() too. Commit ed80638 changed fs.chown() and fs.fchown() to only accept unsigned integers. Make process.getuid() and process.getgid() follow suit. This commit should unbreak npm on OS X - it's hitting the new 'uid must be an unsigned int' check when installing as e.g. user 'nobody' (which has an UID of -2 in /etc/passwd or 4294967294 when cast to an uid_t.) Fixes #5904.
