Sorry, that was carelessly expressed. curl detects that the date is in the 
future, but as I ran it 32bit it cannot express that time in a time_t in 
seconds since 1970 so it stores the largest value it has for it. 2147483647 is 
68 years from 1970, so it becomes the year 2038.

Great idea. I'll need to post those results in a separate post, as I'm trying 
to make sense from them. Stay tuned.
