The case Eric was considering was the local clock is 1970 and the target time
is post 2036. That requires the step adjustment to be more than 31 bits of
seconds.
That would work if we applied Eric's suggestion of doing the pivot way back
when the l_fp format is extracted from the packets. Then the arithmetic with
the 4 time stamps will get a big offset.
[This may be too short to make sense. Sorry, I'm leaving now.]
