+
+	* DateTime.cs: Made Parse(string, IFormatProvider) method to
+	use second argument. Fixed bug #51464.
+
+Seems like this changed the Ticks and this makes this bug happen.
+Ravindra?

+Gonzalo, my fix has nothing to with MaxValue. MAX_VALUE_TICKS is a 
+hardcoded value in DateTime.cs. I have tested by reverting back my 
+fix also and I got the same value i.e. 10000. I found that ticks 
+value is same as that in MS.NET, I think we need to look at the logic 
+of calculating the year value from ticks.
