Well, I don't think it'll make a difference. The tiny test program below 
prints twice the same number. My analysis of the time() implementation is 
obviously flawed.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
	time_t t = time(NULL);
	FILETIME ft;

	GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);
	long long winTime = ((long long)ft.dwHighDateTime << 32)
		+ ft.dwLowDateTime;
	winTime -= 116444736000000000LL;
	winTime /= 10000000;

	printf("%d %d\n", t, (int) winTime);
	return 0;
}
