Oops, I had it mixed up. I was working on a problem on OpenBSD not too  
long ago, but the *application* was expecting a 64-bit time_t. OpenBSD  
is always 32-bit like Matthew says.

I tried on Solaris today. If you build a 64-bit binary with -m64 on 64- 
bit Solaris, time_t will be 64 bits. Otherwise, even on a 64-bit  
system, it's 32 bits. [1]
