Hello,

since time_t is usually defined as long in Newlib and thus 32-bit on most RTEMS 
targets, we are affected by the year 2038 problem:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

Has someone already thought about this?

We have a system that should operate for 30 years.  Has someone already 
analyzed if RTEMS can run that long, e.g. which variables may overflow?

Kind regards,
	Sebastian
