Well, here's the fix. It seems that you must define nb_nonzero for 
anything with tp_as_number set. Objects/objects.c, line 411 in 1.4 source.

(no, I didn't know about it either)

My fix makes it so a dbiDate object is "true" if it's not 01/01/1970. An
alternate is to simply make it always "true", by make dt_nb_nonzero always
return 1. This is something that's not covered by the DB-SIG API.
