Therefore it should be possible to either use a pre 1970 date or
a post 2038 date, but:
If I type (as Eric suggested in the starting message of this
thread)
C-c ! 1968-12-10 RET
I get
[2011-12-10 Sa]
(same as Eric).
But if I type
C-c ! 2040
I get an error message "specified time not representable".
So for me it's neither--nor but in different ways. The second
way of failing is much better because I get feedback.
Ciao, Gregor
