The failing assertion comes from this code in posixmodule.c:

	/* XXX Win32 supports time stamps past 2038; we currently don't */
	*time_out = Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST((in / 10000000) - secs_between_epochs,
__int64, int);

the test (btw, it's in test_os.py) is trying
    os.stat(r"c:\pagefile.sys")

Can you please check the three time stamps of this file (creation,
update, access)?
