The problem seems to happen only with years 1000 through 1099
I don't doubt that the results are wrong, but I'd bet they're wrong outside
those dates as well, at least for dates prior to 1582 for the Gregorian
calendar. Furthermore, depending on the locale, the results are probably
incorrect for dates through about 1923, as different areas of the world
adopted the modern Gregorian calendar at different times.
Just curious, why are you concerned about such ancient dates? I ask
because I've written some sophisticated calendar routines for date
manipulation and have never given any thought to dates prior to 1582.
For what application would you need to handle those ancient dates
as actual dates (requiring manipulation) and not, say, as simply strings?
