[DateTime] Cannot handle 64bit seconds
Hi, when transforming a unix time into a boost::posix_time::ptime, the value of the unix time is truncated to long in for method boost::posix_time::from_time_t. As a result, -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. Regards, Roland

You should definitely create a Trac ticket for this... https://svn.boost.org/ -- Marshall
