I won't have time to have a close look at this before tomorrow
morning, as I'm still out on a week-end.
But please go ahead if you think it's okay.
Best,

Ah, OK - thanks! I looked in current-time, saw the 0x mask and I
thought that the extra bits are truncated, but apparently not: I need to
go back and look at the C rules again.
I have no idea what you are talking about :)

So I am not sure what 64 bit systems do now or in the future, but
it seems that we need to live with a restriction for now.
Maybe this should be documented somewhere.

Most 64-bit systems use a 64-bit int. All of the 64-bit Linux systems
that I've used use a signed 64-bit int.

Hi,

If your system's time-t is a signed 32-bit integer then your system is
able to represent times between 1901-12-13 20:45:53 UTC and 2038-01-19
03:14:07 UTC. If your system's time-t is an unsigned 32-bit

Maybe not - see Bastien's mail.
I am glad, however, that I can enter any date and then use the S-down
etc.
