Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

Fixing this is much easier than Victor's suggestion, we just have to ignore the 
higher bits of the timestamp (that is, store it modulo 2**32). This is enough 
for the purposes of testing the freshness of a pyc file.

And by avoiding modifying the pyc format, we can also ship the fix in bugfix 
releases.
