It is just the time to wait at this point. We have 37 years before
reaching that point :-)

Because the Filesystems and system calls evntually will use int64_t
soon, the rest issue for this case -- bin/14472 -- should be resolved
when _BSD_TIME_T becomes type of int64_t or greater. 
So, I think we may close this case now.

Thanks,
