I don't want to raise a conspiracy or start a panic but... Can we talk about the year 2038?

You may know that many computers that use 32-bit Unixtime as their standard date format will rollover at 1st January 2038.

You may also know GPS has a weekday counter rollover in November 2038 (for reasons unrelated to Unixtime).

But... I'd bet you didn't know that in April 2038 there is another rollover of the 16-bit MJD date system which counts the days since Nov 1858. That date system is used by many broadcast systems around the world (DVB).

Is there something we should be worried about happening in 2038? Time is running out...

@bobdvb just like y2k, we'll do an all-nighter and fix it no problem.
