You also need to be aware that on 32 bit Unix and Linux systems the behavior of mktime() on dates after Jan 18, 2038 is undefined. The 32 bit counter overflows early on the 19th, so any value returned is invalid. This is not a problem on 64 bit systems. We ran into this recently because Support was defining "never expire" as Today plus 30 years. A couple of sites started reporting problems about two months ago.
