Yes, this is bigger than what atoi() will return. This is done in xymond/client/sco_sv.c in the function handle_sco_sv_client() in the following line of code:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
<div class="gmail_extra"> memphystotal = (atoi(memsizestr) / 1048576);</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The variable memsizestr is a string pointer to the value in the [memsize] client data section. The variable memphystotal is defined as a long, so it would make sense that atol() be used instead of atoi().</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is probably a bug in Xymon, but I'm not a C coder so I'm not entirely sure. However, the [memsize] section is only parsed for (and sent by) SCO/Unixware systems, which isn't exactly the most popular OS around. As far as I can tell, it's the only
client parsing code that uses atoi() for memory numbers, and has probably rarely been used on SCO systems with sufficient memory size to overflow the signed integer type (about 2.1GB).</div>

<div>Henrik, agree that this is a bug?</div>
