Pushed, thanks for the report!

I noticed while reading your patch that all of the strtol() calls in
this file store the result into an "int" not a "long", which opens
the door to an undetected integer overflow and truncation.  Nothing
terribly harmful seems likely to ensue, but I thought I'd clean that
up too while we're here.
