Because window's longs are always 32 bit, I think this is a good indication that somewhere a long is being used instead of an intp. 
Probably all references to long should be changed, it just isn't portable. And do you have any idea what is supposed to happen here:

if (year >= 0 || -1/4 == -1)

I know this isn't your code, but you have been looking at it, so now you are responsible ;)
