Synopsis: Jacl clock command: integer overflow
ReproducibleScript:
% clock format [clock scan "10/02/1900"]
Fri Nov 07 05:28:17 GMT+01:00 2036
ObservedBehavior:
Jacl's (1.2.6) clock command returns the current system time as an
integer, although the Java implementation provides it as a "long". The
conversion to int causes an overflow around February 1900.
DesiredBehavior:
Use a string or long representation for clock values to preserve java's
accuracy.
