OK, I have four votes for the patch, and one against. I will apply it
now. We can consider SunOS supported. There is the the problem that
overflow is not detected by strtol but that is not a critical feature:

INSERT INTO INT4_TBL(f1) VALUES ('1000000000000');
- ERROR: pg_atoi: error reading "1000000000000": Numerical result out of range

I will try to get that fixed for 7.3.
