[boost] [date-time] special value problem

Hi,

I have a problem with the date-time library. I have a code like this:

 namespace date=boost::gregorian;

 date::date dtMin(date::min_date_time);
 cout << dtMin << endl;

Last line throws out-of-range exception. As far as I understand the meaning of min_date_time,
this should not happen. 
If this is a standard behaviour, how can I get the minimal displayable date?

Thanks,

Pavol
