I believe the problem with the following:

>       printf("%d %d %s %d %d %d\n",
>           x, i, argv[i], (double) x / MAXVAL, atoi(argv[i]),
>           (double) x / MAXVAL * atoi(argv[i]) + 1);

is not in the atoi() function, but in an incorrect printf() format spec.
Since the two calculations involving "x" are typed to "(double)", the
format spec must be "%f", "%e", or "%g" for these two numbers. Otherwise
what happens is that printf() reads an incorrect value off the stack.

In order to use floating-point printf() routines under MWC, you must
also compile with the -f (or -VFLOAT) option.
