Sorry - is that a bug report?

You reached the GNU coreutils mailing list, but neither in the text provided
above nor in the (bloaty 3M!) screenshots I can see anything like a bug
description or a reproducer.

The only thing which is somehow clear is that you did something with
a (Samsung?) mobile phone, and that you live in Australia.
But I don't see the slightest relation to the coreutils, sorry.
Well, only the URL to the gnu.org page at the top.

Thus, I'm closing this as as not-a-bug in our bug tracker.

Have a nice day,
Berny

Which is correct for dates before the 0 time:

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +

According to that page the last update of the GnuWin project was
2015-05-20 therefore one might think that project is no longer
updating now more than five years later.

Perhaps it would be good to look for a different MS-Windows port of
the software?  The usual recommendation is to install Cygwin which
generally is a more reliable port of the software.  Although I
understand that it might be a little heavy for many users.  But
whichever port to Microsoft you find look to see that it has been
updated in the last few years.

Generally the GNU Project is all about the source and use on Free(dom)
Software systems.  Generally most of us are not using Microsoft and
therefore it makes it hard for us to help.  It really needs a
Microsoft person to champion the cause and to keep that system updated.

Since this is not a bug in the GNU Coreutils software itself but in
the windows port of it I am going to go ahead and close the ticket
with this message.  But if you have updates about this please send an
update to the bug ticket as it would help us know what to say in the
future to other Microsoft users.  And other people searching the
archive will benefit from your experience with it.
