But this resolves the 32-bit issue only, correct?

I did end up compiling the latest version (27.0.50, as reported by 'emacs --version') cloned from

git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git

on a 64-bit system and

(format-time-string "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y GMT" 67768036191676800 t)

still chokes with the "Specified time is not representable" error. As before, the same expression evaluates fine to 

"Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 2147485547 GMT"

with the smaller number 

67768036191676799 = 67768036191676800 - 1
