I guess the UTCtime function is the culprit. The algorithm (though not the code) was lifted from the mktime routine in libntp. I would check a current version of this against UTCtime. You could also test by replacing UTCtime with mktime from libc, and setting the timezone to UTC. If that makes it go away it is definitely the problem. I don't have any 64bit machines that I can hook a receiver up to, to test. All the ones I have access to are either running in 32bit mode or are servers that I am not going to mess with.
