Summary: Bad date field causes archiver to crash

Initial Comment:
The following date header causes the archiver to crash
with an exception.

Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1904 10:52:29 +1000

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/mailman/bin/arch", line 129, in ?

    return time.mktime((year,month,1,0,0,0,0,1,-1))
OverflowError: mktime argument out of range

[whoops - the line numbers are out by one because I
added some
debugging]

[tpot@dp:~]$ rpm -qa | grep mailman
