[cisco-voip] CDR timestamp bug - Will Cisco fix in time?

[Jonathan Charles]

CDR records use Epoch time for timestamps... This a 32-bit field identifying
the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970. This number runs out in 2038.

I am curious, given the recent DST hilarity... if Cisco starts working on
this now, will they fix it in time?

With the DST change, Cisco only had 18 months to get the right fixes in
place (from August, 2005, when Congress passed the law, until March, 2007,
when the change needed to be made by) and Cisco missed it.

So, I am hereby giving Cisco a head's up... Epoch time is running out!
