MorphOS tracks the time as unsigned 32-bit seconds since 1-jan-1978 00:00:00. Thus MorphOS itself is fine until Tuesday, February 7, 2114. This is for about 88 years (as of writing this).
Any application using the C standard library "time_t" and "struct timeval" will currently have the time wrap in 2038. There are plans to address this issue, and changes toward this are in motion, but they will require careful planning to maintain backward compatibility with runtimes, shared libraries and similar that expose time_t or "struct timeval". Parts of this work have already started. While there is no firm schedule set for this work it should be completed way before 2038.
