A quick way to reproduce this bug are to set the time to 0x7FFFFFFF and then
let the time overflow.

root at OpenRD:~/test# cat setbogustime.c 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
  time_t t = 0x7fffffff;
  stime(&t); 
  t = time(0); 
  printf(ctime(&t));
  printf("raw time are: %ld = 0x%X\n", (long)t, (long)t);
  return 0;
}

root at OpenRD:~/test# ./a.out

raw time are: 2147483647 = 0x7FFFFFFF
