Re: Change atoi to strtol in same place

Hi Joe,

On a quick look, the patch seems to be going in a good direction
although there are quite some pending work to be done.

One suggestion:
The start value for port number is set to 1, however it seems like the
port number that falls in the range of 1-1023 is reserved and can't be
used. So, is it possible to have the start value as 1024 instead of 1
?

Further, I encountered one syntax error (INT_MAX undeclared) as the
header file "limits.h" has not been included in postgres_fe.h or
option.h
