Comment (by gdt):

 Probably this ticket should be narrowed to "look for Y2038 problems when
 tahoe is built on a system that has fixed system-wide Y2038 issues".

 Specifically, a large part of this it moving to 64-bit time_t (usually
 int64_t).  NetBSD 6 did this, and I'd imagine that all other systems are
 doing this over the last few or next few years.  Of course, there could
 well be issues with wire encodings, and using unsigned long instead of
 time_t locally.
