Subject: [PATCH] time.2: wfix regarding year-2038
Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2021 11:52:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL9Lf7yvYytb3Q9mHfK-dkxhk+80R1jGB5eRL_w7+qXDQG2RTw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

The old description led me to believe 2038-01-19 03:14:08 UTC==2**31
therefore would still be valid, and that undefined behavior would
begin from 2038-01-19 03:14:09 UTC.
Searched up to be sure.
Modified wording to be more precise.
