The '''Year 3123 problem''' was a computer bug, occurring mainly in [[Iquistia]] and [[Sunteria]], affecting systems that stored time by storing the number of [[Bežu–greho–henžisaso system of units|henžisasos]] since 6 a.m. on 18 December 1973 (1 Neuia 3100 [[Iquisto-Sunterian calendar|I.T.]]) as a 32-bit unsigned integer. It presented itself on 4 August 1997 (7 Snoiguia 3123 I.T.), when the integer overflowed.
