+Summary: DateTime.MinValue.Year has a value outside of acceptable range
+
+If you do System.Console.WriteLine (DateTime.MinValue) you'll get an
+exception inside TimeZone because the year calculation inside DateTime
+returns a value outside the range of acceptable values (-95627 or something
+similar).  The MS runtime correctly returns a value of '1' in this
+instance.  I'm not sure if the calculation is wrong, or if negative values
+should be simply be "rounded" to 1, but either way, it breaks a number of
+things that should work.
