Description

When deserialising a LONG array, the code eventually calls the macro DESERIALIZE_ENCODED_ARRAY_BLOCK( LONGLONG, CONV_STRTOUL). This macro is out of date because it does not do two things
1. The Array size is set to zero, so no elements are ever read.
2. The string to long function returns the wrong value!

To fix this macro, copy the expanded code used in the XSD_INT case and substute 'LONGLONG' for 'int' when ever it appears. The change the strtol() function to correctly create the type required.

I suspect that this problem will re-occur in other arrays of different types that still use the old macro (i.e XSD_UNSIGNEDINT, XSD_UNSIGNEDSHORT, XSD_BTYE, XSD_INTEGER, XSD_UNSIGNEDLONG, XSD_FLOAT, etc) altough others do mysteriously seem to work (XSD_STRING).
