Eli quoted me as saying "mixing signed and unsigned int's is looking
for trouble".  It sure sounds like something I might have said.

Case in question: strtol.

As far as I can tell, in src/libc/ansi/stdlib/strtol.c, strtol is
sending signed chars to isspace, isupper, and isdigit.  The effect of
that is undefined.

(I decided to look because Solaris gets it wrong.  "1\243" leads
to 2^31-1, not 1.  Sometimes.)
