Why does mkpasswd -c use a different offset? Corinna?

Hi Corinna,
I am confused ... the output from mkpasswd -c is NOT the same as the output from mkpasswd -l -u <current user> on
both my "Cygwin-32" and my "Cygwin-64".
As an example, the output on my "Cygwin-64":
64-@@ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Seven 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64 Cygwin
64-@@ id

Note the difference between the output from 'mkpasswd -l -u Henri' and 'mkpasswd -c' (i.c. uid and gid). It is
not what I expect (i.e. I do not understand).
Please, enlighten me ...
Thanks, Henri
