Re: Year 2000 & Debian

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

Before 100 people jump to correct me, yes, time_t overflows after
Tuesday, January 19, 03:14:07 2038. Fixing this requires that time_t by
typedefed as a 64-bit quantity and then programs using it must be
recompiled. One would hope that the world can find something better
than POSIX, C, and Unix by 2038.

	Thanks
