[boost] [1.33.0][date_time] Yr 1900 issue on x64 Win

  I'm trying to use Boost 1.33 libs on x64 Windows platform. Have assert
break when try to use date below year 1900.
  Is it known issue?

To reproduce:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
  using namespace boost::gregorian;
  using namespace std;

  date d(1899, Jan, 1);
  stringstream ss;
  ss << d;
  cout << ss << endl;
  return 0;
}

The cause located in conversion.hpp module and strftime() assert :

    boost::gregorian::date::ymd_type ymd = d.year_month_day();
    datetm.tm_year = ymd.year-1900;

_VALIDATE_RETURN( ( timeptr->tm_year >=0 ), EINVAL, FALSE)

Thanks,
