 Currently the cltt in a lease structure is expressed as a time_t, and the
 valid lifetime field as a uint32_t.  The expiration time of the lease is
 stored in the database and is calculated as
 {{{
 expiration = cltt + valid_lifetime
 }}}
 With no restriction on valid_lifetime, it is easy for the time calculation
 to overflow. (On a 32-bit system, time_t is 32-bits).
