[u-u] The Y2038 issue and Debian 13 (aka: "Trixie")

[Dan Astoorian]

Note that this is only an issue for 32-bit platforms; the 64-bit 
architectures have been using 64-bit integers for time_t pretty much 
from the start.

Unless the command "date -d '1 Jan 2039'" fails with "date: invalid 
date...", you should already be good for Y2038.

(By the way, "reply list" still does not seem to work for this list with 
mail clients that use the List-Post: header, which still reports the 
undeliverable address <u-u at mail-ml.infra-service.ca> instead of 
<u-u at unixunanimous.org>.)
