User creation with UID 65536 grants root access without logging, posing a security risk.

Subject: UID 65536 and shadow-19990307  
  
Recently one of our admins installed the shadow-19990307 package.  
While playing around I noticed that if a new user is created with UID 65536,  
he will become root upon login. No root login will be logged, and even if  
the tty isn't in /etc/securetty he will be allowed in.  
I dont think this is normal behaviour :)
