Hi,
there is an issue with ext2/ext3 date stamps, if someone creates a file
with a timestamp between 1902 and 1970(epoch 0) it will overflow and
result in a higher date than 2038.
$ touch --date "1905-01-01" test
$ ls -lah test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1905 test (this is a cached value here)
(remount the partition/clear the cache)
$ ls -lah test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 6 2041 test
10000101101111001100011001110000 .. -2051226000 (1905)
10000101101111001100011001110000 .. 2243741296 (2041)
this was tested against linus git tree
