I'm afraid not. None of the existing strtoXX converting functions has
the desired output range (0 < retval < INT_MAX), so the following
condition will remain necessary anyway; then it doesn't seem to matter
which particular parser is used to extract the value which is in the
range, so I left the one that was already there to reduce churn.

Thanks,
