Fix mysterious double overflow issue in parse_byte_count()
It's possible that some values (e.g. "16384P") exceed the storage (count of bytes) of a 64-bit integer, and such values were causing floating point exceptions when running sbbsctrl.exe, e.g.
Faulting application name: sbbsctrl.exe, version: 3.20.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: gdi32full.dll, version: 10.0.19041.2604, time stamp: 0x2b5302d5
Exception code: 0xc0000090
but interesting (and perhaps a clue), not with sbbs.exe.
Anyway, this added range checking, limiting the maximum value to INT64_MAX (after division by unit, though there was no division-unit in the problem
case, the "min_dspace" value parsing in scfglib2.c). Using conditional/ternary return statement had the same floating point exception occurrences, so this if-statement shouldn't be removed/changed/optimized!
I suspect this has something to do with mix of Borland and MSVC run-time libs and perhaps different expectations or setups with regards to floating point exceptions. I did notice that when stepping through read_file_cfg(), I would get different return values for the same call to iniGetBytes() depending on whether it was initiated from sbbsctrl.exe (built with C++Builder) or
sbbs.dll (built with MSVC).
Thanks to Codefenix for providing the sample file.ini file that demonstrated the issue. This problem would've been very hard to root-cause otherwise!
