    Replace sscanf() by strtoul()
    
    This change has been motivated by a mail from bde sent in 2015 in
    which he mentioned inappropriate use of sscanf() in 3 programs in
    /bin.
    
    This change removes the potential mismatch of the types of the return
    values and the variable width specified in the scan pattern. While
    there was no issue with the patterns and types used, the new code is
    simpler and more efficient.
