System: NetBSD ds20 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (DS20) #0: Mon Apr 3 13:57:19 MEST 2000 bouyer@ds20:/home/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/DS20 alpha




>Description:
	While compiling bin/ed on alpha:
	cc1: warnings being treated as errors
	main.c: In function `exec_command':
	main.c:848: warning: comparison is always 0 due to limited range of data type
	*** Error code 1

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	'make build' on alpha
>Fix:
	The problem is in the STRTOL macro, where the first arg is compared
	to LONG_MIN or LONG_MAX. I declared 'rows' as a long instead of int,
	this solved the problem but I'm not sure this is the best solution
	(fixing STRTOL may be better but just casting i to long is not
	enouth).
