     Did you format column B  as Time, add [H]:MM:SS to the Format code box, click the 
green check (tick), and click OK? If you do not format the cells into which you enter 
these times, you are likely to get errors.
     Here are three Times using this format in cells B2-B5:

11284:00:00
58528:59:59
12:01:01
28176:59:59


     Using = SUM(B2:B5), I get 98002:00:59. (Result using 3.6.0.4)
What you have not mentioned was the times that you used that gave you problems. That might 
give a clue.
