Description:
------------
The strtotime() function returns -1 if the date is prior to 1970-01-01.
Instead, date function works properly with negative timestamps.


Reproduce code:
---------------
strtotime("1951-12-22") returns -1
date("d/m/Y",-578944001) returns 28/08/1951

This works fine for me with PHP 4.4.6RC2-dev:

<?php
echo strtotime("1951-12-22"), "\n";
?>

This isn't a PHP bug, but a GNU libc issue.
Here I've found a C code to test if my libc has the problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=196177

Thanks.
