No, I goofed when I wrote it - I was being a GMT snob.    
That is the largest whole date that works
in London, but overflows in some parts of the globe.

Change the code to mktime(2038,1,14,0,0,0,0,0,0) 
- one day earlier - and you should be fine.  If that
still fails, knock off a year to be safe and tell me what
