Delay randomly emits right away when passed the date

[zaalbarxx]

Describe the bug

Hello, I'm scratching my head about this for the whole day and I cannot figure it out:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/dayjs-playground-cnp4tnka?file=package.json,index.js

For some reason this fails and I don't understand why:

All of these dates are the future dates, it was checked on multiple machines with both Windows and MacOS and all of them behave the same.

Expected behavior

The should not be called before logs should not be logged due to the dates being in the future.

Reproduction code

of('test')
  .pipe(delay(new Date(2026, 9, 11, 18, 0, 5)))
  .subscribe(() => {
    console.log(
      `should not be called before  ${new Date(
        2026,
        9,
        11,
        18,
        0,
        5
      ).toString()}`
    );
  });

Never mind, I guess the case is closed, I guess it has to do with the setTimeout maximum value being 2^31-1 milliseconds (approximately 24.8 days). Then it runs the callback with 1ms delay, still, weird that it works for some more distant dates and does not for the other, but maybe there is some quirk there. Anyway, COULD be helpful to throw some kind of warning when passing value bigger than that, not sure.
