I dont see how that fixes existing setups. I think digging into the code
and finding out the exacts STRs for the problem, and why it ends up with
that time overflowed value - check if that's really the source of the
problem we're experiencing, and checking that with upstream would be the
next steps .. for the MAINTAINER ;)
