Greetings.
On AIX, there is a overflow in the syntax range checking sccanf. In syntax.c
(CheckParseInt, as well as others functions in syntax.c):
long max = CF_LOWINIT, min = CF_HIGHINIT, val;
...
sscanf(split->name,"%ld",&max);
The conversion overflows a long making it a negative number. Consider the
test program as an example:
long max;
long long lmax;
sscanf ("4026531839", "%lld", &lmax); // max range for mtime
printf ("%lld\n", lmax);
sscanf ("4026531839", "%ld", &max); // sscanf in syntax.c
printf ("%ld\n", max);
Output as follows:
4026531839
-268435457
Thanks,
Matt
