Comment (by teor):

 T9: The unit test fixes in `ticket16943_029_02` have a bug on platforms
 where time_t is 32 bit.

 When running `src/test/test --debug shared-random/state_load_from_disk` on
 32 bit OS X, I see:
 {{{
 [warn] tor_timegm: Bug: Result does not fit in tor_timegm (on Tor 0.2.9.0
 -alpha-dev )
 [warn] SR: Reading state error: Invalid time '2666-04-19 07:16:00' for
 keyword 'ValidAfter'
 }}}

 This was introduced with the unit tests in commit e931fef2, let's use 2037
 instead.
