Subject: org-read-date wrong for dates before 1970 ?
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:18:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fv2d2yl5.fsf@kaffanke.at> (raw)


Hi there,

I'm doing in *scratch* the following (with C-j at the end of the line):

(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil 'totime "8. März 2012"))
<2012-10-08 Mon>"<2012-10-08 Mon>"

(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil 'totime "8. März 1952"))
<1970-10-08 Don>"<1970-10-08 Don>"

(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil 'totime "1952-03-08"))
<1970-03-08 Son>"<1970-03-08 Son>"

So there a (german, and english - the last one) formated time is
translated correct for dates after 1970, but its wrong before that.

How can we fix that?

(this code is used in the google-contacts-to-org-contacts functions from
the google-contacts package)

Thanks,
Martin
