Follow-up Comment #3, bug #31079 (project octave):

This problem existed for me on MacOS 10.6.4 before your change. With Octave
built using the gnulib mktime, I see the same problem.

octave:1> test time.cc
  ***** assert (datestr (datenum (1901, 1, 1), 0), "01-Jan-1901 00:00:00")
!!!!! test failed
assert (datestr (datenum (1901, 1, 1), 0),"01-Jan-1901 00:00:00") expected
01-Jan-1901 00:00:00
but got
31-Dec-1969 18:59:59

I've also installed a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 using VirtualBox. I get the same
(incorrect) result there.
