Interesting:

    /* The date below is about the last time mktime works in CET on
       Windows XP; this is a somewhat strange because 32 bit Unices
       will happily work along for another month until they reach the
       end of all ticks on 20380119T031408 (unless Uli takes
       compassion on us and changes time_t to a u64).  */
    { 2037, 12, 18, 23, 59, 59}

The last bits of the Epoch will reach us earlier?


Salam-Shalom,
