What screwups do you observe?  Are they limited to MinGW32
or might they affect POSIXish 32-bit hosts with 64-bit time_t?

The reason I'm asking is that on on 32-bit hosts,
Emacs's hacky representation of time values is
limited to time_t values in the range [- 2**45, 2**45),
and Emacs reports an error via time_overflow when asked
to compute a time out of that range, even if it is operating
on a platform with 64-bit time_t values.  So, if you set your
system clock to 1116918-05-14 19:20:32 UTC on such a host,
or otherwise deal with outlandish time stamps, Emacs will
have screwups, and it won't be trivial to fix this.
