It's not date's problem. The reason is that time_t is defined as 32 bit type for historical reasons. We would have to redefine time_t to 64 bit and change all time_t releated libc entry points in Cygwin to get this working, but this is not a simple task. And it only affects executables which are recompiled under the new settings. But maybe it's really time to do it for Cygwin 1.7.11...
