This is because you are on a system where the time is stored as a
32-bit integer, as the number of seconds since 1970.

In 2038, the number of seconds since 1970 overflows the 32-bit limit,
and a lot of programs will break.

There isn't a good solution, except to use a system that has a 64-bit
counter for time.
