+	** For example, suppose time_t is 64-bit signed int,
+	** long_double is IEEE 754 double with default rounding,
+	** time1 = 9223372036854775807 and time0 = -1536.
+	** Then the true difference is 9223372036854777343,
+	** which rounds to 9223372036854777856
+	** with a total error of 513.
+	** But delta overflows to -9223372036854774273,
+	** which rounds to -9223372036854774784, and correcting
+	** this by subtracting 2 * (long_double) hibit
+	** (i.e. by adding 2**64 = 18446744073709551616)
+	** yields 9223372036854776832, which
+	** rounds to 9223372036854775808
+	** with a total error of 1535 instead.
+	** This problem occurs only with very large differences.
+	** It's too painful to fix this portably.
+	** We are not alone in this problem;
+	** some C compilers round twice when converting
+	** large unsigned types to small floating types,
+	** so if time_t is unsigned the "return delta" above
+	** has the same double-rounding problem with those compilers.
