At a minimum, using strtol() should let you detect cases where the number can not be converted completely. It might also be worth switching to a "long long int" and strtoll(): this will be a bit slower on 32-bit systems, but (a) they are getting less important as time goes on, and (b) correct behaviour is more important.
