This should also be fixed if you use the latest development driver,
connect to a 7.4 or later server, and use setLong() (or setObject with
Types.BIGINT) to set the parameter value. The V3 protocol Parse/Bind
messages that newer drivers generate will specify int8 for the parameter
type in this case, which is roughly equivalent to explicitly casting the
parameter to int8.

I haven't tested this, though -- it's theoretical :)
