remember, only a dead bug is a good bug - are these too real for me to
have heard of?

Thirty two bit overflow on dates stored as seconds from 1900 (signed), and 1970 (unsighed) in UNIX and DOS/Windows I expect that they'll be fixed when dates are stored in 64 bit integers. Properly done the fix should just fall out of the code on a recompile. But if something isn't recompiled or some really clever programmers took advantage of a side effect in a standard library... There could be other critical failures.
