Thanks for reporting this bug but I'm not sure this is the correct way
to fix it.

I pushed a different one which patches unit-type-p and should allow
using fixnum as a slot type.

BTW we do not use fixnum (that's why it did not work) because that
would create a database/application which is not portable accross
32-bit/64-bit servers.
