Description
Proton version: wine-proton-9.0.2
Steps to reproduce:
WINEPREFIX=/tmp/prefix wineboottouch -d '2039-02-28 16:21:42' /tmp/prefixWINEPREFIX=/tmp/prefix wine cmd.exe
Expected:
Z:\tmp>
Actual:
wine: stat /tmp/prefix : Value too large for defined data type
wine64 instead of wine works fine with provided scenario, and looks like upstream works fine as well, tested wine staging 9.12.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the listed wineboot, touch, and wine cmd.exe commands, then compare the behavior with wine64 and upstream Wine as described. Trace the handling of stat for /tmp/prefix around dates beyond 2038. Done means the 32-bit wine command accepts the provided 2039 timestamp and reaches the expected Z:\tmp prompt.
