No, the point is that in Gromacs version 4.0 (and all versions before) steps were counted in plain int's, which are 32 bit. In version 4.5 they are 64 bit.
But I would suggest to upgrade to 4.5.3 for performance reasons. If you can run a microsecond, you are probably running in parallel over many core and 4.5.3 will also improve your performance.
