What applications are doing this? They should be aware that their program
*does not work* on the msft platform or on mono. It will start giving
bogus results after 23-24 days or something (the .net version has half the
resolution of the native one, because it is signed and we do not use the
negative bits).

We should document this in monodoc. Also, if this method is in the ECMA
spec, it would be nice to get a warning measured there.
