Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t, i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start" hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
