Problem compiling under FreeBSD-4.2

[Mark Buchanan]

Well, I've been look'n through systems again, it looks like FreeBSD
(4.2/3.4), Linux (RH 6.2), Solaris (7), DEC Unix (4.0), HP-UX (10.20),
and OpenBSD (2.6) all have <limits.h> which will include LONG_MAX... 
Also, I looked out on NetBSDs site and found that in strtol, they
recommend inclusion of <limits.h> also...   My feeling that it should be
just included as a default...  It looks like it's pretty standard
throughout *nix platforms...
