Summary: alter sequence restart on large integer

Initial Comment:
I believe I may have found a bug in the sequence though... I want to make sure 
that this value will not have problems when working with large integers:

sql> CREATE SEQUENCE "test_seq" as bigint;
sql> select next value for test_seq;
+------------------------------+
| next_value_for_testdb |
+==============================+
|                            1 |
+------------------------------+

sql> alter sequence test_seq restart with 3000000000;
sql> select next value for test_seq;
+------------------------------+
| next_value_for_testdb |
+==============================+
|                   2147483647 |
+------------------------------+

I can always increment the sequence higher, but if I try to alter it to 
anything past the maximum value for a 32-bit integer then it will reset to it.

sql>select next value for test_seq;
+------------------------------+
| next_value_for_testdb |
+==============================+
|                   2147483648 |
+------------------------------+
1 tuple
sql>select next value for test_seq;
+------------------------------+
| next_value_for_testdb |
+==============================+
|                   2147483649 |
+------------------------------+

Here's some more interesting information:

sql>explain alter sequence my_other_test_seq restart with 3000000000 ;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| function user.s0_1{autoCommit=true}():void;                             
                             |
|     sql.restart("sys","my_other_test_seq",2147483647:lng);              
                             |
|     sql.exportOperation("");                                            
                             |
| end s0_1;

Message:
I'm actually doing this outside of an auto increment or serial field in a
table.... I'm just strictly creating, querying, and altering the sequence. 
 Looking in the 'sequences' table shows that all of its integer fields are
bigints.... it also seems to increment past a 32-bit integer.... the error
must be in the code that takes the new value during the sql query for
'alter sequence restart ...'

Message:
This might actually be a bug related to serial being a INT, not a BIGINT. 
We should probably implement bigserial, and fix the sequence code here not
to accept the too large value.
