Same here (except the "I think this used to work") on GNU Emacs 23.3.1 x86_64-apple-darwin that is 64 bit and has also the famous time_t with 64 bits. The error reported by others comes from time_t with 32 bits. decode-time checks for overflow of time_t before either passing it to the system call localtime(const time_t *), or giving the error. But since it's only a mismatch of current-time with base 1970 and time-to-days with base 1bec, is (decode-time (days-to-time (- (time-to-days (current-time)) (time-to-days '(0 0))))) what you need? Why the *days* function, for some rounding? Michael
