Comment(by nacin):

 New patch.

 Now we will allow negative timestamps as long as the system supports them.
 This is detected by taking strtotime() of a date before the Unix epoch.
 PHP will return -1 on failure until 5.1, at which point this bug is no
 longer a problem.

 Needs sanity testing. Unit tests might be nice. Suggesting commit for 3.1
 if this pans out, then we can remove the sanity check for 3.2.
