But they're already here in fives-ville...
I recently had a regression test failure on our framework when testing on
the new AMD64 test server. The 'failed' test was expecting to see an error
when dealing with UNIX epoch timestamps after 2038. Of course, with 64-bit
INTs there was no error to report.
My 64-bit timestamps should keep track of time nicely until sometime after
the heat death of the universe... :-)
