collector's time is wrong.(year 2038 problem)
Dear PostgreSQL Developers.
This problem occurs at ver. 9.3 or later.
Test environment
Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)
Language:Japanese
PostgreSQL 9.3.6 and 9.6.1
Windows 8 Embedded (64bit).
Language:English
PostgreSQL 9.3.5
Steps
1. Change current time. (e.g. Sep. 1st 2040)
2. Start PostgreSQL Service.
If someone change the current time after than January 9th 2038.
pgstat_recv_inquiry() method was wrong behavior, because GetCurrentTimestamp() returned wrong timestamp.
Could you see following logs.(Winows7 x64 PostgreSQL ver.9.6.1)
2040-11-01 14:32:29 JST LOG: database system was shut down at 2016-11-01 14:29:15 JST

08:05:14.025556+09 for database 12401
And I don't know whether this causes, but the state of the PostgreSQL service in the Service Manager won't be "starting".
Could you investigating these problem.
best regards.

This is not going to work on any platform that uses 32-bit time_t.
It's not our bug, it's that the system time API doesn't work after 2038.
The short answer is that you're not going to still be using Windows 8
in 2040, so don't worry about it.
