Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is not an appropriate place for this. I've tried to
sign up with the bug tracker at sourceforge so I could append my
experience to this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=945771&group_id=9863&atid=109863
Unfortunately, my confirmation email never arrived (and I am a
little too impatient to chase them around to find out why not).
On my system, wxDateTime causes a crash when set to the default
of 01-01-1970. Any other date, including 02-01-1970 seems fine.
I thought at first this was because it was using a system like
"seconds since 01-01-1970 GMT", and failing because I am in GMT+12,
but it handles 1969 and many earlier years flawlessly.
Also, the crash doesn't happen if I set my timezone to GMT+11, +10,
+9... in fact, it only occurs when I use the New Zealand timezone.
This is on Windows XP, and has persisted across multiple wxPython
versions (currently using 2.5.1.5).
Basically I'm just posting this in the hope that the information
will get to someone who might be looking into this bug, but can't
reproduce it. If anyone has a login for that sourceforge page,
please add the timezone information to it.
Thanks!
