Everything you say makes sense, ...
but it clashes with my actual experience.

Attached are two files:

  tx.c is a program
  tx.lp is output from that program

As you can see, time_t seems to "flip"
at the 2038 barrier.


(See attached file: tx.c)(See attached file: tx.lp)

time_t is unsigned.  It will not fail until 2106.  I don't expect
there to be any 32-bit computers left by then, except perhaps in
digital watches.
