Hi,
I tried to enter a date before 01/01/1970 using “C-c .” (org-time-stamp) and
org replaced the year by 2011. (The same problem occurs with org-time-stamp-
inactive and the C-u prefixed variants.)
Although I guess that this is related to the unix time, which starts on
01/01/1970 00:00, my lisp skills aren't good enough to let me find the
responsible code line.
Maybe there is someone who can fix this or tell me that it's a feature, not a
bug;)
Thanks!
-Michael
P.S. The reason I'm working with such timestamps is

I can confirm this issue with
Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.376.gfa9df.dirty)
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-02-07

I found the same problem a while ago. I think the conclusion was it was
an Emacs, rather than an org problem. I am not sure it can be fixed, but
I would be very happy to be proved wrong!
Ian.

The attached patch allows dates before 1970. I tested it and I didn't
see any side-effect so far -- but there must a good reason why we have
this limitation.
Carsten, could you tell where this limitation is necessary?
Thanks,
