At least this superficial test did its job to uncover this issue. I'm
quite happy about that.

I can reproduce the issue and disagree with the classification as an RC
bug. THe normal atop usage doesn't seem affected, only the -P option is
broken. This doesnt make the package unustable for everbody.

My apologies for letting this lay for a month, I was busy elsewhere in
my life.

I am not too fond about the suggested patch since it breaks atop on
systems with 32bit time_t, which is not nice to backporters. I have
asked Upstream whether they would be up for a less invasive fix. I
intend to let this rest until the middle of the next week.

Greetings
Marc
