Are you sure there is a problem, while I have not looked at the clock time code system_time() returns a 64 bit value, I assumed (you what >that means) that the other timing values in Haiku-OS are also 64 bits in size.
That function returns the number of the microseconds since the computer was booted.
real_time_clock() returns the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (1 Jan 1970), and that returns an unsigned 32-bit integer, so in principle it's good until sometime in the 22nd century.
I'm not sure how the value is stored internally, though.
