Subject: OS X's 64 bit time.h broken for very distant dates
Long story short, OS X's 64 bit time.h, at least in 10.6.2, is off by a day at localtime(-2**52) and gmtime(-2**52) which messes up testing. The solution is to detect this breakage and set SYSTEM_LOCALTIME_MIN appropriately. I don't know how far back this breakage goes.

Found where it breaks. Added in code to limit OS X 10.6.
