295	Add early bootload warning if Calendar Clock set beyond September 17, 2043	Gary Dixon	Eric Swenson	"The web page
   [https://multics-wiki.swenson.org/index.php/Design_Limitations:_How_Long_can_Multics_Run] 
describes a Multics operating system design limitation that will prevent the file system from working as designed after September 17, 2043.

I suggest that Multics collection 1 code be enhanced to check the calendar clock setting against this limiting data, and warn the user against continuing the bootload because of probable corruption of file system integrity.  

Perhaps this check would be added near the existing check that the calendar clock setting does not indicate a date/time prior to time the Root PV was last shutdown.  This existing check protects against a calendar clock that lost power (was reset to 0) or otherwise lost significant time while the system what shutdown."	enhancement	new	major		Hardcore
