For some reason the range for the “date” function seems to be limited on my machine,

date -d 2038-1-1 +%s
2145916800

date -d 2039-1-1 +%s
date: invalid date `2039-1-1’

Specs ::

Gnome Version: 2.22.1-22.1
openSUSE version : 11.0

Linux virgil 2.6.25.20-0.4-default #1 SMP 2009-06-01 09:57:12 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
