[boost] DateTime conversion to tm problem?

Hi,

The posix_time::to_tm function clears the date fields of the std::tm 
structure. Having zeros on year, month and day fields represent the 
1900-01-00 date according to the std::tm conventions, which is a date 
that did not exist. Using such value with other APIs might result in out 
of range conditions.

Is it considered to be a problem? What about setting tm_mday to 1 
instead (which would represent 1900-01-01 - that is, the first legal date)?

Regards,
