The old description led me to believe 2038-01-19 03:14:08 UTC==2**31
This is correct.
therefore would still be valid,
No, 2**31 is the first value that doesn't fit 32-bit time_t.
is a signed 32-bit integer and the clock ticks past the time 2**31 -(2038-01-19 03:14:08 UTC, ignoring leap seconds).
I suppose this should say "...the clock reaches the time 2**31", and then we can keep the parenthetical as is. -- Jakub Wilk
