What they should be doing is always defining TIME_T_FMT to "lld" and
casting the values to be formatted to (long long). Hardcoding platform
details like that is broken and just generally a terrible idea. I
started working on a patch, you can find it here [1].

However, the code does seem to be correct, so there's probably something
wrong in a place where they aren't using TIME_T_FMT.

Please do obtain a backtrace. A line number to look at helps plenty!
