Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-06-19 17:21:52 UTC 
In current git, g_date_time_new_utc (year=2013, month=-2147483647, day=31, hour=17, minute=15, seconds=48) appears to crash rather than return NULL. See bug # 702671 originally filed against Gnumeric. We are now avoiding calling g_date_time_new_utc with such arguments in libgsf.

Note that the documentation of g_date_time_new states: "It not considered a programmer error for the values to this function to be out of range, but in the case that they are, the function will return NULL."
