Bzzzt!  Try again.  Nothing is expected to fail for this reason in 2032.
The correct date is left as an exercise to the reader.  Hint:  it is
2^31 seconds after the start of 1970.

And not all Unix variants have this problem; some of them will be fine
until 2^32 seconds after the start of 1970.  Others will be safe for 2^63 or
2^64 seconds.

I haven't heard of anyone worrying about the Y584G problem yet.

All of my PIC code is Y2K compliant.  Some of it keeps time, but only as a
24-hour clock with no date.  :-)
