It means the isc_time_isepoch() routine encountered an illegal value.

Time values are stored in a structure with fields for "seconds" and
"nanoseconds".  Nanoseconds should always be less than a billion,
because that's how many nanoseconds there are in a second.

It's hard to guess why this happened without at least a stack backtrace.
Has it happened more than once?
