Are you sure it is a “system” bug? As far as I understand, at least Posix does 
not require support for local time before 1970. See 
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap04.html#tag_04_16>.

But why is localtime(14400) relevant? The documentation only says 
“datetime.timestamp” calls “mktime”, which should be valid since the UTC-5 
timezone offset will give a positive timestamp. Perhaps is this similar to 
Issue 29097, probing a date before 1970?
