It is failing at atoi() circa pgbench.c:1036. But it just the first one. There
are some variables and constants that need to be converted to int64 and some
functions that must speak 64-bit such as getrand(). Are you working on a patch?

AFAICS that is because atoi() is so fragile.

That's because 21475 * 100,000 > INT_MAX. We must provide an alternative to
atoi() that deals with 64-bit integers.
