Thanks.  l_fp is the right answer.

How did you get 13 years?  I get 136.  Did you drop/typo the 6?

Expires February 2036 minus the current date

is about 12 years and 5 months maybe ish...

Oh, wait I am supposed to use rollover funcs to

compensate for throwing away more than half

of the epoch at the beginning.

l_fp has 32 bits of fraction.  micro takes 20 bits.  So using micro seconds
would gain 12 bits.  So that would be 557xxx years.

My revised guess would've been around 54400.
