Just to clarify for those doing the bugfixing:

Current versions of the VC compiler default to using a 64 bit time_t
even on some 32 bit platforms.  Also, VC always makes int and long
32 bit types, using other names (__int64, possibly long long in recent
versions too) for the integer type that can hold 64 bit values.  (All of
these can of cause be declared unsigned too).

For general portability time_t values should not be stored in variables
of other types (int, __int64, long long, double, etc. etc.) as ANSI C
allows it to be any arithmetic type.

Hope these tips will help.
