I don't see how the first argument of timer-next-integral-multiple-of-time could be (63065 20560). display-time-event-handler passes the value returned by current-time, and that value is always a list of four integers. Is it possible that you've redefined current-time, or redefined display-time-event-handler? (63065 20560) corresponds to 2100-12-21 05:00:00 UTC, which is pretty far in the future, and it seems unlikely you'd want to set alarms for that timestamp. What platform are you running on? What is time_t on that platform, exactly? How did you configure Emacs? Perhaps this is related to the year-2100 problems on DOS and MS-Windows. I don't know much about those problems, though.
