Description Richard Zach 2002-10-03 05:32:15 UTC 
An appointment with yearly recurrence and starting date before 1970 gets
displayed as a timed appointment at 4:59pm on December 31 of each year.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add an appointment, date before 1970, set yearly recurrence

Actual Results:  Appointment shows up on December 31 of each year, at 4:59pm

Expected Results: Appointment displayed at correct day of each year.

Comment 2 Ben Winslow 2003-11-12 01:48:06 UTC 
This bug is still present in 1.4.5.  It's probably a mishandling of
the sign on the timestamp (dates before 1970 are negative in time_t.)

I store birthdays/anniversaries on the calendar as yearly recurrances
beginning at year X, so the situation required to produce this bug
isn't  so far-fetched...
