[ROOT] strange year when drawing with TAxis::SetTimeAxis()

Hi,

I'm making a plot with time on the horizontal axis.  The test code uses
the following dates:

Start time: Tue Jan  1 00:00:00 2002

End time: Wed Jan  1 00:00:00 2003

Point 1: Mon Apr  1 00:00:00 2002

Point 2: Sat Jun  1 00:00:00 2002

The function used to print these here is std::asctime().

I use the listed start and end times, in time_t format, to set the axis
limits of a TH1F and then I fill the two points (also in time_t format).
Upon drawing the histogram I see the year 2027 rather than 2002 (or 2003).

Can someone point out my error?

I've included my test code which compiles and runs with my system which
is:

RedHat 7.2 on a pc
GCC 3.2
ROOT from CVS on Nov 6, 2002, 2050 geneva time.

Thanks,

Mike Kordosky
