Hi.

We currently have a problem drawing advanced time graphs when the time value is greater than ~429 seconds. This is because we handle seconds and microseconds in one guint32, which will wrap at this point.

Do all platforms support guint64 or should we stay with this limit?
Or maybe rewrite gtk/io_stat.c to handle time differently?

Wireshark has required the support of guint64 for a while now--that's a safe way to go.
