(decode-time (days-to-time (time-to-days (current-time)))) => (0 0 1 10 6 3980 2 t 3600) With "GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-02-10 on keller, modified by Debian". (time-to-days) returns the number of days since 0001-12-31bce, which (days-to-time) converts into a time value. That time value is relative to 0001-12-31bce, _not_ relative to 1970-01-01, which is what (decode-time) is expecting. Hence you end up 1970 years out.
