Passing a "MM/DD/YYYY" or "YYYY/MM/DD" formated string into std.date.parse() function which has a year equal-to or less-than 1970, causes the other std.date functions to use 1970 internal as the year messing up the end results. Needless to say this is throwing my wip dateutils.d module functions off! :( Everything above 1970 seems to work just fine, I sure hope this can be fixed by the next version.

Walter, Thxs for all the hard work you're putting into this Baby! :)) <Soapbox> I'm still waiting on the ifind and ireplace functions. As you may have noticed...I don't debate (besides others are better at it), so I spent most of my time writing D code for myself and to share with others. So I do hope you can give the D runtime library some good old TLC soon. You know, it's really all your fault, for creating such a wonderful "Language" that I'm hooked into writing code in it! Keep up the good work!! :)</Soapbox>

<output>
parse( sDate ) is creating a wrong d_time
parse( "07/04/1776" )=0x112A880  )
YearFromTime( parse( "07/04/1776" )=1970

TimeFromYear( 1776 )=0xFFFFFA6E99B1C400 is fine with an integer
YearFromTime( TimeFromYear( 1776 ) )=1776
</output>
