Description:
On systems where sizeof(time_t)==4 (e.g. Linux x86) MySQL's from_unixtime() function returns wrong datetime value if its argument is too big to fit into 32bits.
It should return error instead.

How to repeat:
mysql> select from_unixtime(100000000000);
+-----------------------------+
| from_unixtime(100000000000) |
+-----------------------------+
| 2008-07-11 08:56:32         |
+-----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('2008-07-11 08:56:32');
+---------------------------------------+
| unix_timestamp('2008-07-11 08:56:32') |
+---------------------------------------+
|                            1215752192 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
