(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

I set my computer clock for the year 2100 and then I tried to download a file. 
It did not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Mozilla.
2. Set system clock to 2099 and let it roll over to 2100.
3. Try to download something.
Actual Results:  
The Download Manager opens with no status.

Expected Results:  
The Download Manager should open with status.

I did not find duplicates with "clock download date", "clock download", or
"download date".  The download properties also do not work.  The files do
download even thought the status is not shown.  This issue could be related to
the 2038 bug.  Further testing is necessary to see if it is the 2038 bug that
causes this.  However, I would think that I would get JavaScript errors and I do
not.

Also, when the downloads do finish, the file sizes appear in the Download Manager.

The target milestone will definitely be sometime in the future, so I am marking
this bug as such.

don't touch the target milestone unless you are the assignee

One of Bug 188396 and Bug 188398 probably causes this bug.

this *might* be fixed now that the two bugs I mentioned are fixed, at least on
windows.

could you retest with a build from today (feb 25)?

I tested build 2003030408 and this appears to be fixed.  Correct me if this
should be WFM instead.
