Compiling Dovecot in 32-bit, saving mail within Pine is doing just fine.

I guess this is caused by maildir-save.c, line 219. Is this a bug in Solaris or Dovecot?

Looks like it's a bug in utc_mktime() function which is based on code from Cyrus.. And looks like they've since figured out a way to fix it:

•   /* Some gmtime() implementations are broken and will return

•    * NULL for time_ts larger than 40 bits even on 64-bit platforms

•    * so we'll just cap it at 40 bits */

•   if(bits > 40) bits = 40;

I'll implement a similar fix. If you change TIME_T_MAX_BITS in config.h to 40 it should work?
