I couldn't reproduce the problem on GNU/Linux (x86_64 and i686).

  % ./ruby -ve 'Time.mktime(2038, 1, 19, 11, 14, 8)'
  ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-06-11 trunk 36028) [x86_64-linux]

  % ./ruby -ve 'Time.mktime(2038, 1, 19, 11, 14, 8)'
  ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-06-11 trunk 36030) [i686-linux]

So it seems platform dependent issue.

However I think you should show the actual result (failure message) and
your timezone, though.

Note that my timzone is +0900 (JST).
