32bit Applications cannot access files with file stamps that do not fit into

32 bit range.
This is why Solaris currently has too few 64 bit applications ;-)
Note that PCFS can easily create such time stamps.
You won't see them by default, thanks to PSARC 2005/361 (bug 6248624) - PCFS
clamps the timestamps to the UN*X 32bit time_t range unless explicitly told not
to by a mount option (noclamptime). See pcfs(7fs) and mount_pcfs(1m) about
that.
And yes, that was done because it causes too many unexpected failures.
