I assume you mean December 1901.
I've heard about this signed implementation, but never seen it in
practice. Is it really that common? Most programs seem to treat
negative values of time_t as invalid.
By the way, Europeans who want to celebrate the end of the 31-bit era
will have to stay up late. The last valid date is "Tue, 19 Jan 2038
03:14:07 +0000".
