It can also happen if time_t is unsigned and cuthitme is less than
43200, i.e., cuthitime is close to 1970-01-01.  This was the scenario I
was more worried about.  Unsigned time_t is rare but not unheard of.
(These days, I expect it's more common than 16-bit int, for zdump ports
anyway....)

Could be; I haven't looked into it.
