A library that can no longer cope with dates before 1970 is NOT my idea
of a component without a problem.  We will be looking at ways to get
around glibc's breakage at the application level, since we have little
alternative other than to declare Linux an unsupported platform;
but it's still glibc (and the ISO spec:-() that are broken.
