Since not all Lisp implementations support long-long integers, the
usual way to read 64-bit integers with UFFI is separatey access the
two 32-bit halves of the long-long and then combine the results.

I'd have to delve back into the ODBC backend to figure would how to do
that double access, but I won't be doing that in the very near
future. Sounds like you have an adequate work-around for now.
