Error: ocaltime failed (clock value may be too large/small to represent)

I am using tclkit-win32 with mercurial to view repo history (hg view)

Although the older versions 8.4.16 work, all newer versions throw the following error at startup:

localtime failed (clock value may be too large/small to represent) localtime failed (clock value may be too large/small to represent)
