Date value uncorrect : return 1/1/1601 every tree days

           Summary: Date value uncorrect : return 1/1/1601 every tree days
           Product: POI
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other

When I try to get the value of a date property of a Word document (with 
property.getValue()). It returns me sometimes a wrong date. In fact, trying 
many calendar days in row, it will get me the good dates 3 days in a row then a 
wrong date the 3 following days then again 3 good dates and so on. 

For example 08/06/2000, 09/06/2000 and 10/06/2000 setted in a custom property 
will return me the good values but 11/06/2000, 12/06/2000 and 13/06/2000 will 
get me a wrong value (something like : Mon Jan 01 00:57:58 CET 1601). I 
observed that wrong date always state a 'CET' and good ones a 'CEST'.

You also had the same problem : look in the "HPSF How-to", 1.3.7 Sample 
Output : the property ID 12 in the SummaryInformation (supposed to be the 
creation date) indicates : Mon Jan 01 00:59:25 CET 1601 !!! But the date just 
following (ID 13 : last save) seems right (Thu Jul 18 16:22:00 CEST 2002).
