Description:
------------
The strtotime() function fails with -1 on dates that are < Jan 1 1970.

This makes other PHP functions like date() to return 
Jan 1 1970
on the "faulty" timestamp -1.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$usernaiss = date("d/m/Y", strtotime("Dec 31 1969 12:00AM"));

echo "<html>\n";
echo "<head></head>\n";
echo "<body>\n";
echo "Date de naissance: " . $usernaiss . "<br>\n";
echo "</body>\n";
echo "</html>\n";
?>

This is a glibc problem. glibc is just following the POSIX 
standard now. See
