parse() throws OverflowError for large integers

[Nicholas Chammas]

>>> parse('18129168625565982')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dateutil/parser.py", line 720, in parse
    return DEFAULTPARSER.parse(timestr, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dateutil/parser.py", line 317, in parse
    ret = default.replace(**repl)
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

I expect a ValueError in this case, not an OverflowError.

Interestingly, Python can handle the integer as an int without issues.

>>> type(18129168625565982)
<type 'int'>

I think so too. Still getting this in 2018 and python 3 with the latest anaconda distribution
