This is actually a bug in the Date package, due to limitiations for
strftime() and mktime() implementations not properly working with dates
outside the unix epoch, resp. before 1901-12-13.
This is partially fixed so that the dates can at least be saved now, if
using the default birthday attribute. Displaying still doesn't work becase
we use the %x specifier by default which is not implemented in my fixes
yet. Note to myself: NLS::getLangInfo() provides the necessary information,
at least on *nix systems.
