   |I noticed that SftpATTRs.java uses ints for atime and mtime. 
   |Please change these to longs to match the int64s in 
   |http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13 and to 
   |avoid propogating the Y2038 bug. 

It seems that spec changes had been suddenly done[1] at 7 years ago.

   |We've got 28 years, so reason to rush the fix.

Such changes will break API compatibilities and break the compatibility
for OpenSSH, because it seems sftp implementation from OpenSSH has used 
uint32 for those file attribute fields[2].  So, there is no plan to
change the implementation in this timing.

Anyway, thank you for your suggestions.
I'll keep those changes in my mind.
