Yes it does. In fact 1.576MB over the base determined value was needed.
I've bumped the value to $base+4000

While testing on FreeBSD 10 I also hit an issue that Assaf hit previously:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-07/msg00116.html
Attached is a patch to comment out the test with an explanation,
as it makes invalid assumptions that perl actually calls localtime().
Related to that I pushed a doc patch to gnulib on the localtime issue:
