osiris:~$ perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(2**31-1)), "\n";'
Mon Jan 18 21:14:07 2038

(That's CST.)

osiris:~$ perl -e 'print scalar(gmtime(2**31-1)), "\n";'
Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038

(That's GMT or UTC or whatever they're calling it this week.)

Actually, add one second to that for the apocalypse, because
everything will be fine up to that point.  :-)
