inconsistent overflow handling by strtoi() on 32-bit Windows

Using the precompiled R 2.14.1 on 32-bit Windows XP strtoi(x)
gives 2^31-1 for x>2^31-1 but NA when x goes out of range
in the negative direction:

x <- c("2147483646", "2147483647", "2147483648", "2147483649")
str(strtoi(x))

int [1:4] 2147483646 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647

str(strtoi(sprintf("-%s", x)))

int [1:4] -2147483646 -2147483647 NA NA
