Description:
------------
While running my unit tests, I found a regression bug between version 4.3.11 and 5.1.0RC5-dev in the mktime function.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1990)." -- ".mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -10);


Expected result:
----------------
I would have tought the result should have been consistent.

Actual result:
--------------
in PHP 4.3.11, the result is :
628383600 -- 628383600

in PHP 5.1.0RC5-dev, the result is :
628383600 -- false

The old behavior is a bug, the new one is according to our documentation (http://php.net/mktime):

year

    The number of the year, may be a two or four digit value, with values between 0-69 mapping to 2000-2069 and 70-100 to 1970-2000. On systems where time_t is a 32bit signed integer, as most common today, the valid range for year is somewhere between 1901 and 2038, although this limitation is overcome as of PHP 5.1.0.
