Previously strtol was used and the result was directly cast to an int without checking for an overflow.
So one can do things like
echo 'hello\nbello' | uniq -s 4294967296which is equivalent to
echo 'hello\nbello' | uniq -s 0With the program aborts with:
uniq: character skip value is too large: 4294967296
