Situation
In some cases, the IP address is converted to the decimal number
just fine, but in other cases, a negative number for a valid IP
address. Here's some examples:
AGENT CODE:
IPTONUM(s_DIP, i_value, i_valid)
PRINTF(s_CV1, "%d", i_value)
s_SIP = "10.0.0.5"
RETURNS a value of 167772165 for i_value (copied into s_CV1 just fine)
s_SIP = "192.168.0.9"
RETURNS a value of -1062731767 for i_value
s_SIP = "192.168.0.8"
RETURNS a value of -1062731768 for i_value
All i_valid values are 1 (meaning it's a valid IP addres).

Resolution
The scripting language only supports 32 bit signed integers. An ip
address of 128.0.0.0 or greater will convert to a negative number
because the sign bit is set. This view is correct. To recalculate,
take the negative number and feed it into numtoip it will return
back the correct ip address.
