Is this function strtouq() completely broken or am I doing something dumb ?

Here's a test program...


    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <limits.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <err.h>

    int
    main(int ac, char *av[])
    {
      u_quad_t	num;

      if (ac != 2)
	errx(1, "bad usage");
      num = strtouq(av[1], NULL, 0);
      printf("Result: %s -> %qu\n", av[1], num);
      return(0);
    }


It produces this output...


    $ strtouq 1234
    Result: 1234 -> 1234
    $ strtouq 4294967294
    Result: 4294967294 -> 4294967294
    $ strtouq 4294967296
    Result: 4294967296 -> 18446744073709551615
    $ strtouq 18446744073709551615
    Result: 18446744073709551615 -> 18446744073709551615
    $ strtouq 18446744073709551614
    Result: 18446744073709551614 -> 18446744073709551615


Seems like it can't handle any value higher than 2^32 ? This happens
on both 2.1 and -current.
