   The limitation is well known not to be in the internal
   representation, as those of us who applied the 10K day patch can
   recall.

   Prior to the patch, LIB$ routines would return an error if asked to
   manipulate larger delta times.  Related to this, the C RTL was going 
   to have a problem at 10K days since the C/UNIX epoch of 1-Jan-1970.
   DEC released a patch so that the LIB$ routines would not return an
   error, even though they were returning a delta time that the LIB$
   and system routines could not format.
