The bug fix was merged into glib master today. Since it’s four years after the fix was proposed (!), push back an estimate of when we can remove the workaround. Also, adjust to GNOME bug renumbering.
It's not just glib possibly affected by overflows with such timestamps; cf. glibc bug 19738, for example (fixed for 32-bit time_t by always using 64-bit times internally for tz file processing, probably not fixed for 64-bit with such extreme times). -- Joseph S. Myers jsm@polyomino.org.uk
