Year 2038 problem
Change all unsigned ints that store time to signed.
In another 68 years or so, change them all back to unsigned.

While I agree this works, It's also a bit unnerving to me that 68 years later we're still using a protocol that's using a representation of time that rolls over every 126 years.

Oops, got it backwards. Right now they are signed. Change them to unsigned. Then back and forth.
Of course if you miss any...
