A common variable used to get time in software will over run at this point as it represents time from 1st Jan 1970 and any comparisons made to time after Jan 14th 2038 will probably crash!!

Just rename the Y2K bug to Y2K38!!

Not all of them will, but if we still use Y2K-era software by then, it's quite likely that some of them will behave oddly.

Of course we're already on the verge to 64bit systems, so the more likely problem would be Y10K.
