Description Jonathan Hurshman 2005-06-07 06:11:36 PDT 
Safari's Date objects in JavaScript have only the range Dec 13th, 1901 to January 18th, 2038. Attempts 
to create a Date object outside of this range will return the closest date within that range.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In the address bar, type "javascript:alert(new Date('1/1/2050'))".

Expected results:
Alert containing "Sat Jan 1 2050 00:00:00".

Actual results:
Alert containing "Mon Jan 18 2038 22:14:07"
