# the end of time. we don't include the last end of time second # because that's what backdated entries are set to. (so for one # second at the end of time we'll have a flashback of all those # backdated entries... but then the world explodes and everybody # with 32 bit time_t structs dies)

This is the 2038 bug. Specifically, Mon Jan 18 22:14:07 EST 2038.
By then, it'll have changed to be some absolutely gigantic amount of time, though, because we'll all be using 64 bit time_t structures.
