2^32 milliseconds ... the loop increments for the last time.  A windows
programmer forgot to reset his code.

2^32 = 4294967296 milliseconds
4294967296 milliseconds = 4294967.296 seconds
4294967.296 seconds = 71582.7882667 minutes
71582.7882667 minutes = 1193.0464711 hours
1193.0464711 hours = 49.710269629 days
