I didn't look at the source any further ;-)... But of course, you are right. > I suggest the following patch. If there are no objections, it > can go into stable kernel 2038 :-). Christian, please do test > this patch to see if it fixes your problem.

I just tested it and this one seems to solve the issue and lets me run our applications. > The rest of this mail is more philosophical...

Great support and nice to see that there are still some peaople around; did not expect such a fast respond when I took a look at the bugtracker ;-).
