This is a problem with the mimelib in kdesupport.  It was documented by Olaf
Spinczyk and he posted a fix here on the list (see
http://ivs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~olaf/alpha.html ).  KDE 1.1.2 (the latest
version) still has the problem.  And if RedHat hasn't patched this for their
alpha.rpm's it wouldn't be that big of a surprise.

In mimelib/datetime.cpp

<snip>
void DwDateTime::_FromUnixTime(DwUint32 aTime)
{
    DwUint32 t = aTime + mZone*60;
#if defined(USE_PORTABLE_GMTIME)
    struct tm tt
    my_gmtime_r(&t, &tt);
#elif defined(HAVE_GMTIME_R)
    struct tm tt
    gmtime_r(&t, &tt);
#else
    struct tm tt = *gmtime((time_t*)&t);
#endif
</snip>

You need to change . . .
     struct tm tt = *gmtime((time_t*)&t);

To . . .
     time_t workaround = (time_t)t;
     //    struct tm tt = *gmtime((time_t*)&t);
     struct tm tt = *gmtime(&workaround);

Anyone want to make patched kdesupport.src.rpm's ?
