>Description:
The expand_number() function will silently truncate the numeric part
to the size of a maxint_t and if there is no suffix, no error is returned.
Overflow in strings that include a suffix is detected (e.g. "8E")

The patch is against -CURRENT.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and run this program with no arguments.  It should print "ok".

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libutil.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

int
main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    int64_t num = 0;
    const char *s;
    int rc;

    s = (argc > 1) ? argv[1] : "9223372036854775808";  /* 2^63 */
    rc = expand_number(s, &num);
    if (rc < 0 && errno == ERANGE) {
	printf("ok\n");
	return 0;
    }
    printf("nope. rc = %d, num = %lld\n", rc, num);
    return 1;
}

>Fix:
Check return value and errno from strtoimax().  Patch attached.
