[erlang-bugs] Wrong Gregorian date

[Trevor Woollacott [ MTN - Innovation Centre ]]

Hi Sergei

Date +%s does not return the date and time in Gregorian seconds, rather the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. If you try to convert the number of seconds since 1970 back to into the date & time tuple it correctly calculates the year at 40AD, which is a leap year.

Regards,
Trevor

Hello.

It seems a part of calendar library thinks there is February 29, 2010.

# date +%s
1267451701

Eshell V5.7.4  (abort with ^G)
1> calendar:gregorian_seconds_to_datetime(1267451701).
{{40,2,29},{13,55,1}}


Best regards,
Sergei Fomin
