 I know POSIX says and my tests
 on current releases verify 1969-99, 2000-68, but
 could this be thrown off by localization
 interfering in some cases, as was
 /proc/loadavg, because a function started using
 locales?
 These files and related functions
 do not seem candidates to be affected by the
 recent patch for ls problems with symlinks, so
 BLODA blocking pre-1980 times?

There is a change to "invalid argument" 
somewhere from 1980 to 1979, 
but it also involves permissions.
Permission denied comes from the chmod 444 in /bin/rebaselst
I think. Otherwise with write permission touch gives invalid argument.
Either way, it changes the files to current date-time,
not an earlier time, when it fails.


$ for f in * ; do echo $f ; touch -t 198001010000 $f ; done
fullrebase.done
rebase_all
rebase_dyn
rebase_exe
rebase_lst
rebase_pkg
rebase_user
rebase_user_exe

$ for f in * ; do echo $f ; touch -t 197901010000 $f ; done
fullrebase.done
touch: setting times of 'fullrebase.done': Invalid argument
rebase_all
touch: setting times of 'rebase_all': Invalid argument
rebase_dyn
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_dyn': Permission denied
rebase_exe
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_exe': Permission denied
rebase_lst
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_lst': Permission denied
rebase_pkg
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_pkg': Permission denied
rebase_user
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_user': Permission denied
rebase_user_exe
touch: cannot touch 'rebase_user_exe': Permission denied

The "bad" part of strace of a file with write permission is:
