 I use up-to-date Debian testing (wheezy) linux, amd64 architecture.  I
 have installed packages python3.2, version 3.2.3~rc2-1 and python3-numpy,
 version 1:1.6.2-1.

 I got the same answers with packages python2.7, version 2.7.3~rc2-2.1, and
 python-numpy, version 1:1.6.2-1.

 Create a numpy.float128 scalar whose value is 2**64 - 1, and call it "x".
 int(x) is incorrect.
