	Yes.  Quite simply, there were more changes than the one file needed to fix the problem.  In fact 4->5 was quite the rewrite, so it appears this problem was never fixed in version 4.

	If you want to continue using version 4, and do not have a workaround for this issue, then you will need to fix this bug yourself, as it is most likely that there is noone left doing active development on that branch.

	Your magical clue is that 2^31 ms = 24.8551 d, and 2^32 ticks - 2^31 ms = 472.2476 days!


	Enjoy!

Mike
