Thanks for the report.
I've changed it like this:

        * src/factor.c (print_factors): Give a separate diagnostic
        for numbers that are too large, but otherwise valid.
        Reported by Varga Dániel.

E.g.,

  $ ./factor 3628746859628453216852492
  ./factor: `3628746859628453216852492' is too large
  Try `./factor --help' for more information.
