The verisign root CA public certs I have in my keyring that expire more
than 10 years from now expire either 08/01/2028 or 07/16/2036 which is
well before 03:14:07 UTC jan 19 2038.

Since my arch uses a signed 64bit int for time_t I'm assuming
calculations beyond that magic number won't be an issue for validating
the contents of my keyring.
