 This probably only fails on 32-bit platforms:

 {{{
 >>> a = array([0,257<<31])
 >>> a
 array([           0, 551903297536], dtype=int64)
 >>> a[1]
 551903297536
 >>> hex(a[1])
 '-0x80000000'
 >>> hex(a.tolist()[1])
 '0x8080000000L'
 }}}
 It looks like the value is being squeezed through an int32 pipe before the
 conversion. oct() is likewise.
