	     Overflow occurred if they differ by more than a small slop.
	     Thanks to Clive D.W. Feather for detailed technical advice about
	     hosts with padding bits.

	     In the following code the "h" prefix means half.  By range
	     analysis, we have:

                  -0.5 <= ht1 - 0.5*time1 <= 0.5
                  -0.5 <= ht0 - 0.5*time0 <= 0.5
                  -1.0 <= dht - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 1.0

             If overflow has not occurred, we also have:

                  -0.5 <= hdt - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 0
                  -1.0 <= dht - hdt <= 1.5

             and since dht - hdt is an integer, we also have:

                  -1 <= dht - hdt <= 1

             or equivalently:

                  0 <= dht - hdt + 1 <= 2

             In the above analysis, all the operators have their exact
             mathematical semantics, not C semantics.  However, dht - hdt +
             1 is unsigned in C, so it need not be compared to zero.  */

	  uintmax_t hdt = dt / 2;
	  time_t ht1 = time1 / 2;
	  time_t ht0 = time0 / 2;
	  time_t dht = ht1 - ht0;

	  if (2 < dht - hdt + 1)

	      /* Repair delta overflow.

		 The following expression contains a second rounding,
		 so the result may not be the closest to the true answer.
		 This problem occurs only with very large differences.
		 It's too painful to fix this portably.  */
