In the old days, and perhaps to this day, UNIX and Linux systems had no
dates prior to 1970/01/01. Maybe mysql still has this limitation. In the
early days of UNIX, it ran on 16-bit machines and they kept time to the
second in a double-precision format.

Now, with 64-bit machines being de rigueur, time is kept more
accurately, and will not run out in 2038. ;-)
