--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
The ar format only allows 6 decimal characters for the uid/gid, so there's no
way to encode your uid. Using the -D option (deterministic mode) should avoid
this issue, because it replaces the time, uid and gid fields with 0.

Can you see how GNU ar (from the binutils port/pkg) handles this case?
