As far as I can see, the current (6.4.2) GHC runtime suffers the year 2038 problem; that is, the System.Time module does not support dates from 2038 onwards (the code below reproduces the problem).

We inherit the problem from C's mktime, which returns a time_t, so this is not trivial to fix. As Bulat says, I don't think the new time package will suffer from this problem. Thanks Ian
