Fix a nasty bug exposed by mktime() when time_t is significantly bigger

than 32 bits.  It was trying to figure out things like the day of week
of when time_t is roughly 2^62 etc.  Make a better guess for the starting
point for the binary search that works on both 32 and 64 bit types.  I have
been using this for a while now.
