Errrr.

Unix epoch dates start with the integer 0 representing midnight 1/1/1970.

Rumor has it that the authors of this standard are big Disco fans, but
they have only replied with "No comment" :-)

I dunno what you expected to get from 1966 in an epoch date, but it's not
kosher input, so there ya go.

The only work-around for getting pre-1970 dates is not using Unix epoch to
represent your dates.
