   I'm aware of 2038 bugs that were found and fixed within OpenVMS some   
   years back, and there may well be others awaiting.   
      
   The OpenVMS Y2K evalation expressly excluded testing of 2038 and later   
   dates, as well.  Terra (or tempora) incognita.   
      
   If you're running production on OpenVMS for the next decade or so, boot   
   up a test guest, and test your code and test your environment past 2038.
