Comment:

 My attempt at this - adds a function check_user_id($id) which checks in
 the users database and returns the id that matches (if the user exists) or
 an empty set.  Then adds logic to user_edit to check the id passed using
 the function.

 If the user id does not exist, the page calls wp_die.

 Strictly, the logic doing the test before the wp_die is unnecessary, as
 the immediately following block of code will pick up the empty id, but I
 thought it best to include the check so that the test is self-sufficient.

 In IE7 with pretty errors enabled, you get a internal server error not the
 wp_die message.
