Comment(by charris):

 See [http://tinyurl.com/3vqv7qz this]. Apparently the Intel hardware masks
 the shift bits. On 32 bit machines 5 bits are used, max shift 31, and it
 seems on 64 bit architectures 6 bits are used.

 We should be able to fix this, but the c shift operators are not precisely
 defined anyway. They can be cyclic or not, arithmetic or logical, or at
 least that used to be the case. I don't think numpy has a spec for this.
