I believe Larry Niven had one as well; I don't remember how long it lasted, due to relativistic effects.

The Ethics of Madness, I think it was called.

I think it lasted indefinitely. Both people had life-extension technology on their ships and they were Bussard ramjets of the "can accelerate forever" variety.

Another classic relativistic story is Pohl's _Starburst_.
