unsigned long integer method-arg value larger than 2G will be truncated to 2G

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

<method-arg type="ulong" value="2200000000"/>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This argument should be passed as 2200000000. Rather, it is passed as
2147483647 (i.e. 2G).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0 and 1.1, on all platforms

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem is caused by the use of atol(). This function truncate any
value large than 2G or smaller than -2G to 2G/-2G respectively. The fix
will be to replace atol() by strtoul().
