Looks like the code is broken in that it assumes that time_t is an int,
and passes a pointer to a time_t to another function that casts it to
an integer... This would turn up this problem since time_t's are now
64bits, and int's are 32bits, and since sparc64 is a big endian platform,
the first 32bits of a 64bit time_t are usually zero...
Tell the author of the program that his code is broken.
