Wow!

I knew about that ages ago but I assumed that Theo had decided that
there was a reason to let it grind to a halt - to wit: getting the
attention of people to the need to start working on the Y2K38 bug.

When I wanted to demonstrate the result of not fixing it, I would do
something like:
# date -u -r -2147483648
to get the Dec 13 20:45:52 GMT 1901 result.

NB for the superstitious flock, that's a Friday.

If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
