your analysis does not jibe with my reading of the code, since TIME is
defined as time_t:

#define TIME            time_t
#define GET_TIME(x)	time ((x))

there's nothing wrong with this as long as the argument to GET_TIME()
is always a TIME (or time_t).  GET_TIME() is called in three places,
always with &cur_time as argument.  cur_time is defined as a TIME in
dhclient, and redefined as an int32_t in libomapip (which is linked
statically into dhclient).  The fact that it is defined twice is
probably a bug; the fact that the linker does not warn about this is
probably a bug, too.

The attached patch addresses these inconsistencies, but I have not
verified that it corrects the 64-bit time_t problem.
