Comment(by cgohlke):

 Good question. The patch only affects msvc builds for win-amd64,
 practically only Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.1+. '%Ld' is clearly the wrong
 format specifier for these platforms and will never work. At least '%lld'
 will work correctly on Python 2.7 and >=3.2. Unless I am missing
 something, fixing this for Python 2.6 and 3.1 would require special casing
 all PyErr_Format calls that deal with 64 bit integers. I counted 41
 occurrences of INTP_FMT in the numpy code.
