Comment (by zabrocki):

 This is bad.  Technically any calculation that involves the p basis over
 degree 20 and other bases of degree 30+ should be suspect.  I make this
 assessment because it seems that the integer calculations with
 coefficients using 64 bits may be a problem.  If you check
 `sage.combinat.sf.sfa.zee(la)` for `la` partitions of 21 and the number of
 standard tableaux of degree 35 have values `>  2**64`.

 I can understand C, but it is a bit rusty for me.  The fact that the C is
 written in German makes it slightly more of a challenge since for some
 functions I really have to make wild guesses.
