In article <2596@litchi.bbn.com> you write:
|	    case 'x':
|		for (*p = 0; *++text && isxdigit(*text); )
|		    if (isdigit(*text))
|			*p = (*p << 4) + *text - '0';
|		    else if (isupper(*text))
|			*p = (*p << 4) + *text - 'A';
|		    else
|			*p = (*p << 4) + *text - 'a';
|		text--;
|		break;
Nope.  You forgot to add 10 for the 'a' and 'A' case.
			*p = (*p << 4) + *text - 'A' + 10;
		    else
			*p = (*p << 4) + *text - 'a' + 10;

Sorry about that.
