Description IKEGAMI Akiko 2008-01-12 11:20:00 UTC 
	amd64's time_t is 64-bit, but comment at clock.c is
		32-bit time_t's can't reach leap years before 1904 or after 2036

How-To-Repeat: 	You should ride time machine, and you can enjoy "Twilight zone".

Reclassify.
Comment 2 Peter Jeremy 2008-01-12 20:50:31 UTC 
Whilst I agree that the existing LEAPYEAR macro can only handle
dates between 1901 and 2099, this macro is only used to convert
timestamps to/from the RTC - and currently that code will only
support dates between 1970 and 2069.  There is provision to
separately store the century in the RTC but this code is not
currently active.

Note that the code to write the time back to the RTC currently
steps year-by-year and is therefore also needs a rethink before
the range is massively increased.

Let's reopen this PR somewhen closer to year 2100 
if x86 architecture and RTC are still around then.
