Hi Alexander, can you confirm this bug is MacOs specific? I tried with python2.6 on a Debian sid @64 bit but I can't replicate it. Also, do you see it only on 2.6? if so, I doubt that it will ever be fixed; f.e. on release2.7 branch I have:

Python 2.7.1+ (release27-maint, Dec 31 2010, 20:16:57) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> time.asctime(time.gmtime(1e12))
'Fri Sep 27 01:46:40 33658\n'
