Dear Lukas.

Thanks for your work.

I'm very certain that we do not use time_t anywhere. Certainly not
explicitly, and there is no time_t mentioned in any library interface,
leave alone header file.

Hence I believe this is a false positive. To remain on the safe side,
i'm happy to investigate the assessment if needed. Feel free to provide
any log files or evidence from the analysis.

Best wishes
