Only by half. Surely, if a two-second limit is a problem, a one-second
limit will still be a problem?

Since you specified 32-bit, that's 2038. (time_t doesn't have to be 32
bits; on some systems it's 64, which lasts for billions if not trillions of
years.) DJGPP instead uses an unsigned 32-bit value, which takes you a bit
past 2100 (the MS-DOS limit).

... And now for something completely different.
