Summary: Int8 values interpreted as int4

Initial Comment:
Bigint values inserted from long positive integers in
the range 2**31 through 2**32 are retrieved as negative
values.  Values from 2**32 up are retrieved as value
shifted 32 bits right.  Result of running the attached
script:

V:\cinemon>bigint_problem.py
-2147483647
-2147483648
0
1

where the input values were:

		{'curr_up':2147483649L},
		{'curr_up':2147483648L},
		{'curr_up':4294967296L},
		{'curr_up':4294967297L},

PyPgSQL 2.4 Win32 binary release for Python 2.2.3
against PostgreSQL 7.3 on Win32.

The values are getting into the database fine, so it
looks like something in the database-> python
translation that's getting messed up:

V:\cinemon>psql cinemon
Welcome to psql 7.3.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
