VS 2005 was released after 1.33.1 although we were regression testing on
beta versions.

It's coming back to me now -- stupid me for relying on my memory --
completely forgotten even though it was just a few months. This problem
was reported right after vc8 was released. We concluded that this was a
serious problem in vc8 standard library -- someone reported it to MS.
The following mails from the list might be helpful.

Long story short is that if you pickup a few files from the current CVS
head (see last link) things should be mostly better. Note, I'm NOT
going to guarantee that it is 100% -- as I recall there were a couple
code paths I could not easily fix. Please complain to your vendor for a
bug fix -- the problem in their library is serious and needs to be fixed.

Nope -- I don't develop date-time on Windows.
