I'm using Ubercart-beta2 with the uc_discounts-20080107.tar.gz contrib package on Drupal 5.6 with all installed modules up to date.
While creating a discount, I am incorrectly seeing the error message: "End date can not be before the start date" when entering an End Date > Jan 17, 2038. The start date is set to today: Jan 22, 2008. Looks like and EPOCH/ date/math issue. Sorry I haven't into the code to nail down any further. It's been a looong day but I wanted to get this reported asap. I'll continue testing this contrib as I need it for a site under development.
Thanks again guys.
BTW, the UberCart team is awesome. I think you guys epitomize the meaning of Open Source TeamWork!!!
Keep up the great work!

It's weird that you can't enter the 17th, because my site shows the latest date handled by PHP as Mon, 18 Jan 2038 22:14:07 -0500. This was generated with

<?php
  print date('r', PHP_INT_MAX);
?>

PHP_INT_MAX is machine-dependent, and evaluates to 2147483647 on my site. 32-bit signed integers are the most common configuration, I think.

This looks like a Form API issue. Can anyone confirm?
