Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

This is easy to fix by checking (s==end), or by setting errno=0 before
calling strto* functions, and checking (errno!=0) afterwards (see the
recently-updated manpage example).  Given enough time, I will
eventually provide a patch for this, but I don't know that I'll get to
it anytime soon..
