My point is not whether 2 billion is a better number than 4 billion as a
maximum value. My point is that wraparound of signed int is, I think,
not even defined in C, whereas wraparound of unsigned int is well
defined. cur_line should be declared as unsigned int. I don't trust
that INT_MAX+2 arithmetic.

Please don't use cur_line as a name for a global variable. Something
like PSQLLineNumber seems more appropriate if it's going to be exposed
through prompt.h. However, note that MainLoop() keeps state in local
variables and notes that it is reentrant; what happens to your cur_line
when a file is read by \i and similar? I wonder if it should be part of
PsqlScanStateData instead ...
