Y2038 bug: unix time overflow

[Yichard]

in 2038 the unix time will overflow the 32 bits used to describe it.
Scripts created today may be still around when this happens, hence the interest of taking action today.

I think there is a simple solution, matching what is already implemented in several computer languages. But we need to keep compatibility with SL and OS. So that it may be better not to put forward a Halcyon solution too soon.

@Yichard I was just reading about that today.

What happens on January 19, 2038?

On this date the Unix Time Stamp will cease to work due to a 32-bit overflow. Before this moment millions of applications will need to either adopt a new convention for time stamps or be migrated to 64-bit systems which will buy the time stamp a "bit" more time.
