Right, I was still thinking in K&R C terms.

Not allowing negative numbers is a bigger problem than not allowing
values greater than LONG_MAX. When I test for EILSEQ, for example, all
I know is that it will be an 'int' (because errno is an 'int'). It
could be negative.

Please come back from 'unsigned long' to 'long'.
