Fellow libcurl users,

This function caused a crash when a cookie had an expiration date of "Tue,
29-Nov-2072 08:28:22 GMT". The crash happened in the call to mktime() at
line 380. While the ultimate solution to this problem may be to use 64-bit
dates, I'm not sure how well they're implemented on Unix or Linux platforms.
For now, here's a more convenient hack to parsedate.c:

353,356d352

< /* hack for 32-bit time_t date limitation */

< if (yearnum > 2037)

< yearnum = 2037;

<

Take care,

Jeff Phillips
