That can be fixed by just changing the type of time_t and recompiling.
Well, ok recompiling everything, and finding all of the programs that
assumed 'long' was the correct return type. I would guess that making
things work with 64-bit systems has been more work than converting
32-bit
programs to use a 64-bit time type would be.
one would hope that most programmers were intelligent and used time_t,
rather than making assumptions. such hope, unfortunately, might be
futile.
