Re: Seriously?

The current fix: Represent 2022-01-02 as 2021-12-33. Using the same logic they are good until 2024-12-19 12:47. If they switch to uint32_t they get to 2042-12-31 23:59 without trickery and 2042-94-96 72:95 works out as 2050-01-07 01:35. I could live to see this bug back again at the start of 2043 but 2050 is probably past my sell by date <sarcasm>so there is no need to switch to a 64-bit type ever</sarcasm>!
