python sample app errors with uid not found: 1000

[jbayer]

the sample flask app works fine on run.pivotal.io, so i assume it's some difference in the cloud rocker env from the normal cloud foundry environment.

one idea is that $HOME may not be set via https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/issues/924

[jbayer]

looks like the missing user is likely candidate for a problem

$ docker run -t -i b013805f7ade /bin/bash
I have no name!@49536cf3faee:/$ id vcap
id: vcap: No such user
I have no name!@49536cf3faee:/$ whoami
whoami: cannot find name for user ID 1000

Fixed as part of the amazing new raw-to-base-workflow-8000 allowing me to track all the wonderful 'features' wshd adds to the containers before starting the app.
