bug report: date display problem using ls

[Joris Teepe]

Hello!

below here is a encode64'd and zipped version of my file
Numbers.bmp   size: 3.954 bytes   date:  9-oct-2099 14:03:42

The file is located in a fat 32 partition.
If I make a mount -t vfat on this partition, then a "ls -l"  I get a:

 -rwxr--r--    1 root     root         3954 Sep  3  1963 Numbers.bmp*

where the year 1963 is definitively wrong. (Unix begins in 1970)
I suppose that the problem is in vfat's interpretation of the fat 32 file
system, rather than a bug in the programs ls itself.

However, this must be a bug somewhere in Linux, and that's why I report it to
you.

Cheers,

Joris
