There is a variant of date-to-time that refuses to throw an error on
out-of-range dates, namely safe-date-to-time. But I'm still puzzled as to why
you're getting this error. date-to-time is supposed to throw a "Specified time
is not representable" for out-of-range dates, but for you it's throwing some
other error. Can you debug why that is happening?
What happens when you run the following in your *scratch* buffer?
(date-to-time "Mon, 06 Mar 2130 20:55:03 GMT")
On my platform (Fedora 21 x86) if I type C-j after that, the debugger is entered
with this backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error . "Specified time is not representable")
signal(error "Specified time is not representable")
apply(signal (error "Specified time is not representable"))
(if (equal err overflow-error) (apply (quote signal) err) (condition-case err$
(let ((overflow-error (quote (error "Specified time is not representable"))))$
(condition-case err (apply (quote encode-time) (parse-time-string date)) (err$
date-to-time("Mon, 06 Mar 2130 20:55:03 GMT")
...
What happens on your platform?
Also, what is your platform? What does (emacs-version) return, for starters?
