Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.12-1
Severity: normal
there is an integer overflow handling received emails' date, i.e. when
the date is later than Tue Jan 19 04:14:07 2038. this is shown in emails'
list:
52 N Dec 14 sender ( 124) subject
this one's date is `Tue, 19 Jan 2038 11:14:07 +0800', which overflows to
14 Dec 1901. the displayed `Date' field of the email header doesn't change.
i guess the behaviour is:
date_to_int();
sort_mails();
int_to_date(); /* integer overflow */
Cheers,
Daniele

Hopefully we'll all be using 64bit (or more) arches by then. I'll
close the bug for now,
