The problem is that in libc6 2.3.1-16, mktime always returns -1 for
dates that are before 1970.

Is this problem still accurate? We have the same problem with PHP4 under
Sarge (uptodate 10/11/03).

These bugs reports are actually the same bug, and have been fixed in
glibc 2.3.5-1, meaning that they it is now fixed in etch and sid. I
am therefore closing the bugs.
