You could use atoul() and get the desired result..but, there's no guarantee that it won't break down in other systems.
Any local variable that uses the type int32 (or int on a 32-bit build) will cause problems for the section of code it is declared in.
Additionally, each of the supported clients would need to be tested for abberant behavior as a result of allowing values greater than int32.max.
The server code is designed around client models..we can't make the client honor server changes.
