Subject: Re: Time.gm(1969) chokes on Windows


Thanks Rob, but unfortunately I am not the one doing the parsing - YAML 
is... and it uses Time.gm/Time.utc, which are apparently "built-in" 
functions in Ruby (i.e. implemented in C) ... I can't help but think 
this is just a setting somewhere...

I checked my regional settings (as James Tucker suggested) but that 
setting only appears to affect how Windows interprets 2-digit years. 
Ruby must be doing some kind of system api call for this and it is just 
limited on Windows...

Any other thoughts?
