DJGPP's time_t variable wraps around only in 21xx year (I think xx=26, but I forget the details; you can easily test this yourself, though). As for the BIOS, if you really mean one of those BIOSes that jump back at 31-12-1999, then this might indeed be a problem, but it is easily corrected. And I have yet to see a 486 that has this problem.
