------------------------------+--------------------------------
 The config_parse_units function uses 64-bit arithmetic, but does not
 detect 64-bit overflow.  This means that values like "20000000 TB", which
 should be rejected, are instead mis-parsed.

 Since this function is only used for configuration parsing, it's not a
 huge issue, but it should be simple enough to resolve this.

 Found while working on 30893.
