As mentioned, RSX will handle it fine.
But anyway, I'm not sure this really is that much of a deal. Logging
will get the wrong dates, or may fail more fatally. But that's just
logging. It don't actually have much to do with the actual operations.
Of course, I have no idea what may fall out if logging throws a wrench
into the system, though.
For RSX, even after 2065, it won't really be a problem. Logs will just
have the wrong date, which have some implications if you are going to be
searching through logs for things on a specific date, or if you look at
printouts.

Oh, that's a much bigger deal! Do you happen to know if VMS handles this field as
unsigned?? A lot of people here are going to be bummed if VMS quits working next fall...
