What's wrong with this?

with Ada.Calendar;
with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Seconds is
   Elapsed_Time : Duration;
   Unix_Epoch : constant Ada.Calendar.Time :=
     Ada.Calendar.Time_Of
     (Year    => 1970,
      Month   => 1,
      Day     => 1,
      Seconds => 0.0);
   use type Ada.Calendar.Time;
begin
   Elapsed_Time := Ada.Calendar.Clock - Unix_Epoch;
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Duration'Image (Elapsed_Time));
end Seconds;

What compiler are you using, for which the resulting Duration
value is out of range?
