Description:
This is on PHP version 5.0.5 (apache2handler) & MySQL: 5.0.20-nt
The recent changes RSS feed is terminated prematurely with the following PHP
warnings:

RSS feed Warning: gmmktime() [function.gmmktime]: Windows does not support
negative values for this function in
C:\Fat32\wwwroot\mediawiki-1.6.3\includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 1255

Warning: gmdate() [function.gmdate]: Windows does not support dates prior to
midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 in
C:\Fat32\wwwroot\mediawiki-1.6.3\includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 1286

I have traced this to line 410 of BagOStuff.php, which needs to be changed from:

return $dbw->timestamp('9999-12-31 12:59:59');

to:

return $dbw->timestamp('2037-12-31 12:59:59');

I think this is the fault of PHP rather than Windows, but I just thought it
might be helpful to others to have it fixed. Hope this is OK. (My first bugfix!)
