I looked at it and discovered that 0 is already special-cased
at put_dec() callsite. You can drop the above if() block
(or better comment it out, explaining that caller does it),
and while at it, improve special-case code in number():
replace

        /* generate full string in tmp[], in reverse order */
        i = 0;
        if (num == 0)
                tmp[i++] = '0';

with

        if (num <= 7)
                tmp[i++] = '0' + num;

(7, not 9, because it can be an octal conversion).

Bug. You need to use temporary variable to store q / 10000 result.
