           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386 (64bit/AMD64)
        OS/Version: Solaris 11/Nevada
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4

        ReportedBy: Alan.Coopersmith at sun.com


As mentioned in bug 593, I've been reproducing the bug with VMWare having it's
clock set to -1 at boot.   I've noticed that when files get a pre-epoch
timestamp, Solaris thinks they're from 1969, but ksh93 claims they're from the
far future:
