I don't have a handy pointer to any documentation to back that up. Most of the internal calculations are done with time represented as the offset from the system time. ---------- PS: > Everything still fits.

NTP time stamps overflow 32 bits in 2036. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem#NTP_timestamps It also has comments on modulo arithmetic. -- These are my opinions.
