The full background is explained here:
http://40hz.org/Pages/Newton%20Year%202010%20Problem
The main problem is the functionality which deals with alarms, the
"clock" which is used to trigger alarms has an overflow in year 2010,
which causes alarms to go off in the past in a never ending cycle. The
rest of the OS handles dates just fine.
