I use rsync as a backup tool (via rsnapshot) and noticed that it had a

That's a unix-time limitation. The current timestamp resolution can't
represent anything past January 18, 2038. Fixing that won't be simple,
but should not really be needed for quite a few more years.
Which is what they said about y2k. People never learn. *sigh*
(To clarify, as my use of the word "troll" in my last message was
misunderstood, I assume by non-USENET users, I am referring to the utter
lack of OS support. Obviously rsync can't do very much until the OS
vendors get their acts together.)
