A better-known and possibly more common bug will arise in 2038, when the Unix timestamp hits 2147483647, the maximum value that can be represented by a signed, 32-bit integer. This number also happens to be the 8th Mersenne prime, according to Wikipedia. Then there’s the maximum value that can be stored in an unsigned, 32-bit integer, 4294967295, which will be hit by Unix time on February 7, 2106.
