Jack Jansen:
This patch is a workaround for Macintosh, where the GUSI I/O library (time, stat, etc) use the MacOS epoch of 1-Jan-1904 and the MSL C library (ctime, localtime, etc) uses the (apparently ANSI standard) epoch of 1-Jan-1900. Python programs see the MacOS epoch and we convert values when needed.
