This particular bug has interactions with other bugs that make me
uncomfortable about attempting to fix it right now.  The right way to
fix this is especially influenced by the approach taken to bug#22033 and
to the bug regarding pre-1972 UTC.  The latter I haven't even reported
yet because it's difficult to formulate in the presence of some of the
other UTC-related bugs such as bug#21911 and bug#21912.  So I think this
is one to postpone until some of those are out of the way.
