Subject: time.parse fails for year values > 2037 (time out of range) in ruby 1.8.4

Hi!

I am trying to parse dates that take place in the future. When event
dates occur after 2038-01-01 i get an time out of range error. To
reproduce in irb:

irb(main):078:0> t = "2038-12-01T15:00:00.000Z"
=> "2038-12-01T15:00:00.000Z"

irb(main):079:0> s = "2012-12-01T15:00:00.000Z"
=> "2012-12-01T15:00:00.000Z"

irb(main):080:0> Time::parse(s)
=> Sat Dec 01 15:00:00 UTC 2012

irb(main):081:0> Time::parse(t)
ArgumentError: time out of range
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:180:in `utc'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:180:in `make_time'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:243:in `parse'
        from (irb):81

I am running ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.6.1].

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Kind regards,

Peter Krantz
