Erik,
I am not sure but I remember having a discussion about the problems with
dates that precede time 0 in Unix which corresponds to 1 January
1970. See man page for ctime(3) for instance.
I am currently offline (in the tunnel under the North Sea :-) so cannot
find out what the conclusions of our discussion may have been. Please
search the mailing list on Worg.
