The "2038 year Problem" has been solved for some > time... there's solved, then there's solved. anything that uses future dates later than 2038-ageddon will still have trouble, at least until such time as they are all recompiled against kernels and glibc that contain working mitigations. You can't convince me that there aren't a lot of programs and databases/files storing such things. and as time goes by it'll get larger, even before 2038 hits. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
