#10909: [easy] strtol doesn't handle overflow properly

When trying to parse a number too big to fit a long, strtol returns 0
instead of LONG_MAX. If I read the POSIX spec correctly, it should:
* Set end to the character after the last digit in the string
* Set errno to ERANGE
* Return LONG_MAX.
See attached test program.
