I was considering at one point making two trips through strtol, each 
allowed to gobble 10 characters, then combining the two--just to cut 
down a little bit on the roll your own parser aspects here.  I hadn't 
really considered how the main server does this job though.  If there's 
something reasonable to expose by refactoring some code that's already 
there, I could take a stab at that.  I'm not exactly sure where the 
integer parsing code in the server that would be appropriate is to break 
out is at though.
