date: invalid date `1969-12-31'

I expected output something like like "Wed Dec 31 00:00:00 EST 1969", not "invalid 
date".

All dates before 1970-01-01 that I have tried seem to produce "invalid date"; all 
dates after 
1970-01-01 that I have tried produce the output I expect.

There is some discussion of this bug on the lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] near the end of January, 2003.
