>Description:
Trying to print out the UTC date of the last seconds representable with
our 64 bit signed time_t fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try: date -u -r 922337206854775806
and watch: date: 922337206854775806: localtime: Value too large to be stored in 
data type
(which is incorrect, it is: 0x7ffffffffffffffe)

Strangely a simple C program doing the same strtoll() call seems to work
fine for me.

>Fix:
n/a
