ibruby: ib_lib C extension time_t used?

[Brian Moelk]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask since it's a Ruby specific
Interbase question, but I'm running into an issue with dealing with date
values that are beyond the range of time_t.

This is a very limited date range (1970-2038) and one I'd like to get
resolved. I'm going to review the C code to see how to fix this issue;
any guidance? Is this a known issue? One that is on the todo list?

This appears to really be a ruby issue. InterBase has no issues with
time in this range. I recommend posting in some ruby forum.
