Actually this is no longer the case. There was a time_t depencency in OpenSSL
0.9.8 and earlier which caused overflow problems due to limitations in the
system time routines.

OpenSSL 1.0 avoids this by implementing its own time routines. So if this was
attempted on OpenSSL 1.0 even on a 32 bit system it should produce the correct
result.
