It is is_c_int_64 that is broken.  I cut-and-pasted is_c_int_32 but of 
course a 64-bit integer can be also fit in 32, 40, 48, or 56 bits when 
represented as a LargeInteger on 32-bit systems.

Thanks for the report!

It gives the timezone offset of the current locale for that time.  So 
for example if the time zone bias of UTC time 2011-06-17T00:00:00+00:00 
is +02:00 in your locale, the equivalent local time will be 
2011-06-17T02:00:00+02:00.
