    BoolProperty *prop = object_prop_by_name(obj_copy, "can_parent");
    if(prop)
      printf("val: %d\n", prop -> bool_data);

It always prints "0" regardless of what the actual value is.

I have defined the 'can_parent' property in the object that is being 
checked. I can toggle the property in the properties dialog, but trying 
to retrieve that property always returns 0 for the boolean value.
