If it is on a Unix box, it most likely is the Unix time value; It is the
number of seconds since the UNIX Epoch which I believe starts at 0 seconds
in January 1970. I am not quite sure about that date, but it is close.
It also reveals the problem if you are dealing with dates before 1970 and
after 2^32 seconds after that.
Again, this specifics above may not be totally accurate, but are close
enough to describe the point.
