Subject: Out of range on Dates beyond 2038/01/19

Hi people,

I'd just found this issue trying to parse a date:

>> Time.local(2038, 1, 19)
=> Tue Jan 19 00:00:00 +0100 2038
>> Time.local(2038, 1, 20)
ArgumentError: time out of range
  from (irb):33:in `local'
  from (irb):33

It looks like Time class is not available to manage dates bigger than
2038/01/19.

I have found this conversation:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/190564

There they say that is a problem of 32bits processors because the number
of seconds from 1970 don't fix into 32 bits.

Some one of you have already fight with this issue?

Is there any solution?

Thanks
f.
