           Summary: date overflow with scp -p
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.7.1p2
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: scp
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org

(noticed same behavior with openssh 3.8p1 via Cygwin on W2K
and openssh 3.7.1p2 on a Linux machine - both cases copying
files FROM a Linux machine running 3.7.1p2)

Attempted to copy a file from a Linux machine with a (legal)
pre-1970 date (don't ask me WHY I have files with those
dates :) ) using scp -p to preserve the date.

In both cases the file arrived intact, but had a date in
January 2038 (which I recognized as the highest possible
32-bit value).
