Hi,
    I have seen this error before on windows, but I didn't delve into it 
particularly deeply. It relates to the timestamp value being greater 
than the windows-defined maximum time value (something like 
_MAX__TIME64_T if I remember correctly). It only occurs when called from 
live's timestamping function which is itself only called when outputting 
debugging information as far as I know. You can either stop outputting 
any debug info until you know what the real issue is or just check for a 
null value returned from ctime().

Cheers,

Tony.
