The allocation uses sizeof(u32) when it should use sizeof(unsigned long)

This is from static analysis, not from testing. Obviously we don't
want memory corruption, so my patch is an improvement. But I feel like
a better approach might be to change the type of dvalues[] to u32. I
took the less risky approach because I'm not an expert and can't test
it. But if someone else can take a look at it, then I'll redo the
patch.

Looks good to me. And yes as we store already parsed value, dvalues
could be changed to u32, but I would still change the sizeof as you did
above.
