Zope 2.0 alpha 3 seems to be getting confused over timestamps on NT.
This is a typicial traceback, from trying to view the dtml edit page
of standard_html_footer:

Traceback (innermost last):

, line 534, in __init__
OverflowError: float too large to convert

Curious to see what that float value was, I added a "print t" on line
533 of DateTime. I see the value 77108275237.6, which is definitely
out of range.  Curiously, I see exactly the same number after shutting
down zope, clearing the var directory, and restarting.

I also get two warnings on restarting with an empty var:

FS21  warn: D:\Program Files\Zope-2.0.0a3-src/var/Data.fs truncated,
possibly due to damaged records at 4
FS21  warn: D:\Program Files\Zope-2.0.0a3-src/var/Data.fs Database
records in the future

Any thoughts?
