>2,629,584,000 corresponds to 00:00 1 May 1983 GMT,This must be a unsigned 32 bit number for it to work.>and -1,297,728,000 corresponds to 00:00 17 Nov 1858 GMT.Or, it must be a signed 32 bit number to represent something before 1900. But if the time protocol uses signed 32 bit, 1983 would not even be representable. Some thought-bug?
