^^^^^ are UTC and GMT that far apart? Leap seconds? WTF?
The heck with leap seconds - why did it warp back to 1901 rather
than to 1969/1970? ;)
Negative time. Will go as far below Unix birthdate as above. That's why
there was a suggestion in the Y2K days of changing time_t to unsigned
and biasing it off the Unix birthdate. But the pedants complained that
Unix files, created before Unix existed, would have the wrong date.
