What time bug? There's nothing[1] in the Unix specifications that
requires a 32-bit clock. AFAIK the support for a 64-bit clock should
be transparent.
[1] Take a close look at the specification of time_t, rather than its
implementation on a specific platform. The introduction of
time64_t is a hack intended to preserve compatability with
existing z/OS Unix code.
