 time to somthing that old anyway. Interestingly on ms.net doing the same
 thing gives a System.IO exception 'The paramater is incorrect' for any date
 value before 1980. Guess setting things to old dates isn't a good idea.

+I think the windows refusal to set dates before 1980 is actually
+filesystem-specific.  IIRC the fat fs cant handle earlier dates, but
+ntfs certainly can here.
+
+Note that the test case depends on timezone.  You need to set a
+zone sufficiently far east to see the bug.
+
+I've set the limit on linux to be (time_t)0 (ie 1970) for now.
+
+Fixed in CVS HEAD and 1.0
