Raising this thread again, because there is a benefit to using strtol()'s unsigned cousin, strtoul(). APR does not provide an interface for it. Can we use it? Can we also use its 64-bit cousin strtoull()? If we can use those two, we might as well use strtol() and strtoul() and skip apr_strtoi64() completely. Stefan
