Therefore it should be possible to either use a pre 1970 date or a post 2038 date, but: If I type (as Eric suggested in the starting message of this thread) C-c ! 1968-12-10 RET I get [2011-12-10 Sa] (same as Eric). But if I type C-c ! 2040 I get an error message "specified time not representable". So for me it's neither--nor but in different ways. The second way of failing is much better because I get feedback.
