Description Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-06-10 03:22:24 UTC 
the returned parameter "tail" from strtol in the soup_xmlrpc_value_get_* functions will point to the first occurrence of a bad character in "content".  However, these functions xmlFree(content) before the tail pointer is dereferenced.  This results in a particulary nasty bug where you sometimes get FALSE returned when the string is actually a valid integer.

patch follows.

This is needed for the latest XML-RPC enabled version of bug-buddy
