Subject: Re: Bug in atoll strtoll, the output of then differ

Here is the "glibc" implementation of "atoll":

=====

/* Convert a string to a long long int.  */
long long int
atoll (const char *nptr)
{
   return strtoll (nptr, (char **) NULL, 10);
}

=====

With that there is no way for get different results from "atolll" and 
"strtoll".

Cheers !
