[R] timeBasedSeq stumbles over the year 2038 (xts package)
I have the following problem: As expected I obtain timeBasedSeq( 2037/2037) [1] "2037-01-01">However if I do the same for 2038 I get timeBasedSeq( 2038/2038) [1] "2038-01-01" "2039-01-01" I get the same strange result if I use later years or any interval that contains 2038: timeBasedSeq( 2037/2039) [1] "2037-01-01" "2038-01-01" "2039-01-01" "2040-01-01">Am I doing anything wrong? I am using R2.15.1 und xts 0.8.6 on a mac. Many thanks, Marcus [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Workaround 1: Avoid collecting data in the future and processing it in the
present.
Workaround 2: Use a 64-bit build of R, as appropriate for such future data sets.
