4543	ptime: year 2038 problem	Roland Bock <rbock@…>	James E. King, III	"At several locations in the code, the number of seconds, minutes, hours, etc is explicitly limited to the value range of {{{long}}}, for instance in {{{posix_time/conversion.hpp}}}:


{{{
  inline
  ptime from_time_t(std::time_t t)
  {
    ptime start(gregorian::date(1970,1,1));
    return start + seconds(static_cast<long>(t));
  }
}}}

As a result, for example -4260211200 is represented by some ptime in the year 1971, but it should be 1835.

Or, in other words Boost.DateTime has the year 2038 problem.
