Yes, there is a bug in date conversion.
The problem seems to be somewhat subtler...
It was already noted by Donald back in November:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2007/Nov/msg00511.html
and I couldn't even decide at that time whether it is by accident that
real numbers came into the picture...
But one thing is sure: 10.5.2 hasn't addressed the issue. ;-)
But there's nothing wrong
with AS using 29-bit integers, especially since it automatically (and
mostly seamlessly) promotes to floating point as needed to represent
bigger numbers.
Right; moreover, the language's specification clearly states the fact.
