I suspect the author didn't expect to be around to be called on the year 
10000 problem. :)  At the risk of adding more noise to this thread, I can't 
imagine what kind of cryptography might be in use in the year 10000.  Will 
we have quantum computers by then?

(No, please don't answer me -- at least not cc:ed to the list).
