After creating and saving an all-day event (multiple events) then reopening the event and atempting to set the start date to a date prior to 1970 causes the program to crash.  Probably not an issue that *most* people will ever see, but cropped up when setting up an annually recurring birthday, and setting the start date to the actual date of birth.  Doesn't happen down to 1970, but starting 1969, system crashes.  Doesn't happen if date is entered correctly the first time before savign event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create New Event
2.Title Event
3.Give event a 2006 starting date
4.Close event
5.Re-open event
6.Change recurrence to annually (possibly not a necessary step)
7.Change start date to pre-1970
8.Click out of start date box anywhere on screen
9.Program crashes

Actual Results:  
System froze and received error message "sunbird.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Expected Results:  
I believe it should have changed the date as normal for other changes.

No themes or extentions, I do have Firefox 2.0 beta and Thunderbird 1.5.05 installed (if that matters).

It's usually a good idea to search for duplicate bugs prior to filing.
