oh, and: that means you're west of Greenwich, so the epoch is your local
time 1969-12-31 19:00, so your 1970-01-01 00:00 is firmly in positive
time_t.  So you had no chance of reproducing the issue; it would only
show for someone on MS (in a zone that believes it's) east of Greenwich.

(For bonus amusement, Europe/Madrid is CET so does believe it's east of
Greenwich, even though Madrid is west of Greenwich.)
