Why are these values illegal? The GNU libc accepts year in [1900-2^31; 2^31-1] (tm_year in [-2147483648; 2147481747]). If time.accept2dyear=False, we should at least accept years in [1; 9999]. The system libc would raise an error (return NULL) if it doesn't know how to format years older than 1900.
