"After [this year], the next time-related computer panic will be 2038, when programs that use the POSIX time representation (common in Unix systems) hit the limits of that representation." The _next_ time-related panic? That seems monumentally unlikely! Who predicted the US-DST panic even a couple of years ago? (Of course, on this side of the pond we're laughing about the whole thing: "we went through that back in 1995".) > http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/13/y2k7_bug_feedback/ > > Roll on 2038. And how about 03:13:04 on 5 Dec 3769, when time_t reaches 62^6 and Exim message-ids start getting reused?
