As usual, Google is your friend. :-)

I just typed in QUAD_MAX and hit enter:

http://www.google.com/search?q=quad_max&meta=lr%3Dlang_en%26hl%3Den

Virtually all of them are helpful, but you cannot get better than
the link to http://www.dignus.com/dcc/examples.html that includes
the very helpful comment:

        /* We'll loop for the last 100 long-long values. */
        /*  QUAD_MAX (from limits.h) defines the largest */
        /*  signed long long value. */

This pretty much wraps it up AFAICS. :-)

Cheers,
Ben
