Then maybe the bug is in mktime or localtime?  What are the values of
tm and mktime (tm) here?  I expect

  tm =
  {
    year =  69
    mon = 0
    mday =  1
    hour = 0
    min = 0
    sec = 0
    usec = 0
  }

and

  ans = -31518000

If these are not the values returned, then what does

  localtime (-31518000)

return on your Windows system?
