Under Win32, localtime returns NULL for dates pre 1970. A number of places in the code fail to check from a NULL return from localtime, with none seemingly more problematic than those calls within DetermineLocalTimeZone, which causes SEGVs in a number of tests (which clearly pass pre 1970 dates to this function).
If we want to support pre-1970 dates, which I imagine we do, then this function requires some serious rework under Win32. If we don't, then I'm guessing we can just drop in some error checking for a NULL return from localtime (as I've done on my personal source base), and modify the tests for Win32 accordingly.
