You realise we're good for almost 8000 more years? :D
I guess it can already happen if your clock is grossly miscalibrated, though?
Or as a result of corruption in a filesystem, archive, FTP transfer, or
any number of other things (including user error). I guess it's also
conceivable that someone might want to apply `accurate' timestamps
to things like photographs of cave-paintings from the year -5k....
I'd actually be really interested in hearing the motivations for the change--
especially if there's a story about an actual encounter with
the Y10k problem (or the Y-1k problem).
