                 Summary: [NSCalendarDate descriptionWithCalendarFormat] hangs
with some dates
                 Project: GNUstep

Details:


Trying to format some representations of dates using [NSCalendarDate
descriptionWithCalendarFormat], causes a hang within GNUStep library.


Please find attached sample application source-code which demonstrates the
behavior.


The first date succeeds, but the second results in a hang.

Output:
$ obj/DateFormatTest.exe
daysSince1970: 8640000000. secondsSinceReference: 746495021692800.
Converted to 07-06-139044
daysSince1970: 2147483651. secondsSinceReference: 185541609139200.


Have seen the hang is somewhere within:
absoluteGregorianDay () / gregorianDateFromAbsolute () from
gnustep-base-1_24.dll.   These functions are used within the
descriptionWithCalendarFormat implementation, within a few while-loops.



While the "problem date" in the test may seem overboard, I still wouldn't
expect the hanging behavior.



GNUStep version: 1.24.6.
Platform: Windows.
GCC: 4.7.2.
