Not sure where your getting 1903 etc from but that is besides the
point.

The main problem in this mess is among other things this line

Date: 20 Mar 03 18:30:01 -0800

A correct date according to the RFC should read
Date: 20 Mar 2003 18:30:01 -0800

The mac I seen resets back to 1980 when the batteries dies in them and
I think they use regular unix EPOC just like allot of other systems out
there when your dealing with system time (seconds since 1970 Jan 1
00:00:00).
