Set time backwards by one second or more. Game will freeze until time is greater than previous value. I can reliably reproduce this behavior.
Details:
Windows will update the time once a week; Typically the new value is +/- 3 seconds of the previous for most systems. Low impact, not likely to be noticed by player.
Solution:
I would use the win32 GetTickCount() function instead of using the system timestamp. Without looking at the Factorio code I couldn't say how easy it would be to refactor.
