So we should just change it to use gmtime() rather than localtime().

(For what it's worth, the NFS dissector just prints raw seconds-since-the-Epoch and microseconds/nanoseconds, and the 
SMB dissector also appears to convert to local time, at least for Windows FILETIME values, which are proleptic 
Gregorian-calendar-and-UTC values that could also be shown as UTC, but older versions of SMB have local-time time 
stamps.)
