Ian/all, it's not too early to worry about the year 2038 Unix bug. Dan Gillmor does.<g>

[snip]
At about 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 19, 2038, the Unix clock will hit a number
consisting of a zero and 31 ones -- in decimal notation, a little more than
2.4 billion seconds after Unix time began. In the following second it will
''overflow,'' in tech jargon, creating a number consisting of a one
followed by 31 zeroes. In our decimal world, that will represent minus
2.4 billion seconds, meaning the computer will now think the year is
1901, with obvious and non-obvious consequences.
