No, we just have to play the wrap around game when converting from network 
time to unix time.  If the network time is before the build time add 1<<32 
seconds.  And drop the high bits when going in the other direction.

Pick your favorite constant if you don't like build time.  But then you have 
to remember to update it occasionally.
