Bash Version: 5.2

Release Status: release
Description:
printf '%d\n' 111111111111111111111111111 && echo success
prints "success"
/usr/bin/printf does not, but instead returns EXIT_FAILURE (1).
The bash printf builtin doesn't consider this an error -- it prints a
warning -- because strtoimax completely converts the argument (*ep == 0)
even as it changes errno to ERANGE. That dates back to bash-2.05b.
I can make ERANGE overflow a conversion error as well; that seems
consistent with POSIX and what other shells do.
