I noticed premature overflow due cutoff range value set in strtol_l.c for long 
string and using a number of base values. strtol() reported overflowed value 
while the string should have been valid. The cutoff values I saw were 
0x55555555_55555555 for base=3, 0x3fffffff_ffffffff for base=4, 
0x33333333_33333333 for base=5, 0x2aaaaaaa_aaaaaaaa for base=6 with glibc 2.9. 
2.10 looks to use the same macro definition for the cutoff table definition.

It seems to me the cutoff value need not be a table with different ranges that 
vary with base value, why not just a simple constant 0x7fffffff_ffffffff for 
all base values?

There are no known problems.  You have to provide a self-contained test.
