Torque3D Destroys Space-Time Continuum

Disclaimer: Abandon All Hope Ye Who Read This!

I've been arranging files inside T3D by date using:

fileModifiedTime("path/file.ext");

Which returns things like: (day/month/year remember)

21/11/2012^04:50:16

Everything fine until - suddenly - the date starts missing and I'm getting:

^04:50:16

Then "21/11/2012^04:50:16" moves a month on and 15 days into the future and turns into ...

21/12/2012^04:50:16

And something else turns into ... wait for it ...

01/02/3800^00:00:00

The file in my folder says "21/11/2012^04:50:16" but Torque has projected us into the year 3800!

The opinion on irc.maxgaming.net/garagegames is some sort of float overflow but I strong believe that this is the start of the Mayan apocalypse! Oh the huge manity!

Or it could be some sort of data overflow I guess ...

Is happening on every type of T3D I have installed (1.2 and 1.1).
