Could you please explain what magic math does the 2030 -> 2038 extension ? According to the code the 1970 comparison works until 2069: year += 1900; if (year < 1970) year += 100; I keep the patch nevertheless as it removes ifdeffery, but I change the commit log to something sensible and remove the year < 1970 check as well as it is not longer necessary.
