Look at export(5) manpage! It says:

[... ripped by viruses ...]
In the absence of -maproot and -mapall options, remote accesses by root
will result in using a credential of -2:-2.  All other users will be
mapped to their remote credential.
[... ripped by viruses ...]

so, here's your answer! -2 would be 0xfffffffe in hexadecimal, and
4294967294 in decimal (10 digits). Here's where your insanely huge uid
comes from.
