The problem here is that we're trying to print an error message
with the GType, but GType isn't an 'int' anymore.  I don't know
what the right solution is long term, but short-term you can just
cast 'type' to a (long int) in the LEAVE statement.

I don't know if this bug was ever fixed.  It requires a test platform
with a multiple-entry tax table (which I don't happen to have in my
test data file, but perhaps I should create one).  IIRC the problem
is somewhat related to the swigification; I dont know if it's been
corrected.
