When running the following PIR:

.sub main
        I0 = time
        print I0
        print "\n"
        N0 = time
        print N0
        print "\n"
        I0 = N0
        print I0
        print "\n"
.end

On linux, I get:

1209519949
1209519949.066321
1209519949

This is what we expected.


On Mingw32, I get:

1209538332
12854011932.719000
-2147483648

On MSVC, wknight8111 got:

1209519873
12853993473.285999
-30908415

These numbers are completely wrong.  This causes problems elsewhere;
for instance, the code in Parrot_cx_schedule_sleep() expects the two
timestamp formats to match up, so it can calculate the correct time to
wake up again.  (I believe this may be the root cause of RT #53458.)
