        Assuming my memory works at all, I think this is a feature
        of atoi() but I'd want to play with it first.

        And, yes, there are two kinds of Unix SysAdmins:

           1)   Those who have already made this mistake; and
           2)   Those who WILL make this mistake.

        (The same is true of doing an 'rm -rf *' as root from /)
