There is what I have installed, along with some short one-liners
demonstrating the problem.
I don't believe it's the Fedora core 4 internals, as the commandline
date function seems to have no trouble with dates in those ranges:
5:02pm {623} localhost:/home/webadmin/>$ date -d "01/01/1958"
Wed Jan 1 00:00:00 EST 1958
5:02pm {624} localhost:/home/webadmin/>$ date -d "01/01/1955"
Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 EST 1955
5:02pm {625} localhost:/home/webadmin/>$ date -d "01/01/1940"
Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 EST 1940
5:02pm {626} localhost:/home/webadmin/>$ date -d "01/01/1912"
Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 EST 1912
I don't know where to start looking, on this, but am certainly willing
to help test it. I'm in the middle of a project converting a load of
data and *need* to get past this. :) Anything I can do to help, let me
know.
